Last Armageddon - menu translations?
« on: May 13, 2012, 07:47:53 AM »
Does anyone know what the myriad of menus in this damn game say? It's impossible to play it without at least knowing wtf to do.

On a related note... wow, the scrolling in this looks like absolute shit... kind of like Ys, but worse. Too bad too, as the sprites are awesome.

I'm in the same boat too, but I'm half tempted to get rid of it due to having far too much Japanese and quite literally no faqs for it. I do however, like the day and night monsters...

I have handwritten notes on the menus somewhere.  If I can find them, I'll be happy to type them up and post them here.

There's a walkthrough here (scroll down past the review):

It's not the most detailed document in the world, but it should be better than nothing.

That mini-walkthrough on TBD pretty much is nothing in this case, unfortunately... it's no help at all for figuring out the basics of how to play. The only reason I'm even gonna attempt this game is because it's part of the twelve challenges.

What are the other 11? I got mine through that 7 lot that included Dracula X.

little bit OT. I meat met a person few weeks ago, and while we did some game chit-chat, he asked me if I know the game last armageddon? I then replied him with a yes, and that I own it on the PC Engine. then he told me that he had designed all the graphics of last armageddon for the PC-88 version back in his college years. he still has the whole stack of floppies at home, which containing all the raw drawings :)

I sent a PM to you guys.  LA's menu system is really convoluted, and my notes were quite messy (not to mention from like five or six years ago), but hopefully they'll be of some use.

Wow, that's cool!

On a side note, why is Might & Magic 3 on that badass list?  I've beaten it on real hardware, so, no cheating....& I usually suck at games!  Seriously though, I guess I did figure out an exploit that made it easier, so.....does that make me potential badass? :D  Honestly, I think Wicked Phenmenom should be on there, but, then again, I did beat that one as well, so that might not be quite challenging enough.

WP isn't on there because... it isn't hard. :) Anyone who pays attention and doesn't try to blunder through the last dungeon can clear it with ease. M&M3 is likely on there because it's an immense game that many people could not complete due to its size.
