This is one of the few famicom Star Wars games that are not in english. And infact I think this is the only game that is not in english. This game is based on the first movie and is not quite inline with the story as you will see if you play it. Some have said that this game looks like it was meant to be another game and was changed at the last moment. You will notice that Luke has black hair for one. And that he starts off with a light sabre that he should have recieved somewhat later on as he meets Obi-Wan Kenobi. Luke also has to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi, instead of running into him on the planet Tatooine. Another main difference is that when you fight some of the bosses you will notice that the boss starts off as Darth Vader and then transforms after you inflict your first blow. What Darth Vader transforms to is different for each mission. The first boss is on the planet Tatooine and is a giant scorpian. You will be amazed by the differences.

  On a technical note this game is mapper 19 or the Namcot 106 PCB. 8KB bank select and most that I've seen has a max PRG and CHR size of 128KB. Most emulators that I've seen dont seem to emulate this game correctly. Nesten seems to emulate this game correctly from what I can tell. NNnesterJ and FCEU seems to have problems emulating the joystick controls of this game accurately for some reason.

  And now the translation details. This game nears completion. The only real problem has been lazyness. The worst part of the hack has been figured out thanks to DarkDaiz, the hardest part would be the force menu window text that you can bring up anytime in the side scrolling part of the game. All the text has been translated. All that remains is to reformat the text for use in the latest script insertion utility Atlas. As a bonus, Bitmaster has unlocked a continue mode for use in the game. For those that dont like using savestates. I will be adding this to the final translation patch comming up.
