While a few of Sega’s arcade classics—including After Burner, Virtua Fighter, Space Harrier, and more—received enhanced ports on the 32X, Golden Axe was only ever released for the original Genesis/Mega Drive. It’s a fine version of the game that preserves a lot of the magic that fans experienced in arcades, but Jeroen Visser (aka jvisser) […]
The remake of classic RPG Ys: The Vanished Omens in the Japanese-only Saturn compilation Falcom Classics is now playable from beginning to end in English thanks to a fan translation effort from Murzik and Crawdkenny on the SegaXtreme forums. Murzik began working on Ys in January by using machine translation until CrawdKenny volunteered to translate […]
On Friday, November 25, 2022, SegaXtreme member Arjak released their first English v0.1 Demo Patch for the SEGA Saturn FMV game, J.B. Harold: Blue Chicago Blues. A project similar to DeathMask, this translation involves the re-insertion of the original English dialog ripped from the PC port of the game, in addition to translating text in menus and options.

Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition, a community-led effort to remaster the PC port of this survival horror classic, is currently seeking assistance from the modding community.

It should really go without saying that games need to be archived as perfect snapshots in time, so that future generations can learn from and enjoy the works that have shaped the medium exactly as they were released. If we’ve taken away anything from […]

Every country has their own localization needs and rating standards for video games, forcing developers to either alter or omit […]
In spite of being one of the most beloved and discussed horror games in the history of the medium, Silent Hill 2 has yet to receive any official remakes or remasters that are really worth spending your time playing. Not content to let this classic languish due to Konami’s neglect, a group of dedicated fans […]
After nine updates, a Bahamut Lagoon fan translation project—led by notable emulation developer Near, with a script by prolific translator Tom—has finally reached v1.0 status on the 25th anniversary of the game’s original release date. Although the initial beta release was stable, feature complete, and playable to completion, the seven week open beta gave the […]
An English fan-translation has been released for experimental cult-classic “LSD: Dream Emulator”. Originally sold in 1998 for the Playstation, LSD has remained a Japanese exclusive even after its re-release on the Playstation Network in 2010.
