Happy Anniversary to the English fan translation of Tales of Phantasia (PS1)! 🎂🥳🎉 On this day, "Gemini" released the complete English patch for a game that was never officially localized outside Japan. Still the definitive way to experience it in English! Have you played this?

We need to save Elric! 🛟 - Shining Force 2 (Genesis/Mega Drive)

Happy Anniversary to Dual Orb 2 (SNES)! 🎂🥳🎉 The English fan translation was released today in 2002 by Translation Corporation. With clear similarities to Final Fantasy VI and Breath of Fire, it’s surprisingly solid and enjoyable. Have you played it?

Happy Anniversary to Terranigma! 🎂🥳🎉 Today marks its release in Europe and Australia for the SNES. It was never released in North America after Enix of America closed, reportedly because Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia didn’t perform well enough financially.
