WORD CATCHER. Werd.Read the English menus to get on your way to learning English.Engrish.I love this game, don't you?Can you guess the word?
MISSION ANALYSIS
Popeye teaches Japanese kids everywhere English, through games of Hangman.
Now he can teach you Japanese through romanji.
This is one of the earliest Famicom games ever made. Possibly the oldest game being fan translated (either that or Nyrols or whatever
PentarouZero did, for the MSX). This was largely done to test out the possibility of expanding FC/NES ROMs.
And to get something out on my third-year anniversary.

This mission was undertaken by:
KingMike - hacking, translation
DvD Translations - ROM expander
