Do you know if any of the Tec Toy exclusives have had their manuals translated into English anywhere? Somebody on here asked me the question via PM and I thought it might be a cool project to undertake on the forum.
Anyone could do it by using google translation tool and a bit of gramatical common sence. Would be nice to scan in the manual pages and edit the translation over the original text. Then you could even print out your own english manaul for the game.
Any thoughts? Interested parties could each choose one manual to work on. this may need a bit of quality controle, i.e. type of font to use and amount of DPI for the scans.

For the Game Gear hacks you could also cross reffence the GG instructions, I'm sure they would be pretty similar.

It would probably be better to try Worldlingo and manually type in all the stuff. That's how I translated the box texts for a few games I put in the database.

This is a great idea. I don't mind taking the time to translate a few, but I don't own every Tec Toy exclusive though (sadly)

(I think I know Dynamite Headdy is). Dynamite Headdy was actually coded specifically for the SMS, for a Euro release which didn't happen no doubt. The games which were just hacks of the GG versions to work on a sms are: Arial Baku Baku Bonkers Earthwork Jim Ecco 2 Fifa Legend of Illusion Mickeys Ultimate Challenge MK3 Ren and Stimpy Taz Escape from Mars Virtua Fighter Xmen |

Don't forget that dez knows Portugese. He's pretty busy currently, I believe, but he might be able to help.

I could help with the translation. I don't have means to scan anything, though.
