In game spelling errors
« on: April 13, 2013, 12:01:37 PM »
Ran across this spelling error after beating Dungeon 03 on Double Dungeons. WTF is DEFEATEA? Pretty obvious they meant defeated. What other Turbo related spelling errors have other people caught?

All is well. :)

I noticed a lot of mistakes in Dynastic Hero, like one where the character said "Oh on!" instead of "Oh no!" :P

Pretty much all of the names aren't phonetically identical (Japanese use a "B" sound for "V") and many like Babette and Cobra are completely different, same as most localized games. But those are not spelling errors.

I love Double Dungeons, and I'm glad you are documenting part of what makes this game so enjoyable. :D

Found it with pic proof! It's on the beginning of level 15.  I started it but decided to take a break before taking it on.  Just finished 13 and 14 so I'm kinda fried.



I don't recall what level i was on for this one but Silwer? Could be intentional but I highly doubt it with all the other spelling errors.

Roy, there is a reason that the "Silwer Armor" she's selling is ONLY 1,000 gold...it's a cheap knock-off of the more reliable "Silver Armor"...

ADVICE: Build up your "Experience" a bit more and you'll be able to avoid shady sellers like her... remember that the labyrinths in Double Dungeons have been flooded with pirated items that have not been safety-certified.

ALSO: I noticed that the second elixir in your inventory has already EXPIRED (tell-tale brown bubbles collecting on bottom of the glass flask). Dude, double-check the expiration dates before you pay good gold for an elixir! Damn, how did you make it this far in the game with such shoddy items?
