Anyone able to translate this?

Just wondering what this says - I'd run it through the usual language manglers, but given that it's Romanized phonetic Japanese I don't think Google Translate is going to cope too terribly well with it ![](//www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif)

That's from gapluso, for anyone wondering. Any help with this definitely appreciated.
Late addition for the benefit of search engines: the text in the image above reads as follows:
Anatawa Gaplus ni katta kinen ni message o okuru senchaku 10 mei ni nanika ageru Namco no kozima made letter o dashitene Waruiga dengen o kittekure

"You have beaten Gaplus. In commemoration, we send you this message. Send a letter to Kojima at Namco, and he'll give something to the first 10 respondents. Sorry, but turn off the power now."

Interesting. That implies that there's a way to beat the game, assuming that this isn't an artifact from earlier on in the development process of something that was later removed. Paging Don Hodges... ![](//www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif)
Thanks for that. Most definitely appreciated.

I found a Japanese web page which has tons of information about Gaplus. The downside is that is almost entirely in Japanese, although google translate does a decent job with it.
http://kani.ninpou.jp/gaplus/gaplus.htm
From the page, near the bottom, we learn that entering a certain name, age, and blood type in the high score entry will give this message. Another special named entry will give 8 ships per game on all future games until the machine is power cycled.
These only work on the Japanese ROM as the US ROM only allows for 3 character entries and does not have age nor blood type.
Code:
NAME AGE BLOOD Effect JHIMYJ 00 OO In all games until the power is turned off from the next play, it will start with 8 machine ship. JNIWAR 28 OO Message appears on the screen. It is not possible the next game if you do not power-cycled.
