I recently discussed the very cool Space Wars flyer up at TAFA (check it out here) and since then have been lucky enough to get it translated. Lisa has a good friend that is part Japanese and she was nice enough (Thanks Kim!) to ask her Mom to do some translating. Here it is:

“It is about playing a space game. By pushing the optional button from 0 to 9, and combine with valiational button from 1 to 5 you can enjoy 50 kinds of space game. And the details follows. 100 yen for 90 seconds (2 people can play) and etc.”

Kim asked for a little more detail and got this:

“I try to translate as much as I can. As I don’t play video game it is sometimes not so easy to translate. It could be “lost translation” but I hope he can use my help. Quote – You can pick button #0 to #9, combine valiation button #1 to #5 and you can enjoy 50 kinds of space game. (how to play) 100 yen for 2 people – 1 play. Put a coin and select from 0 to 9 and you push the button. Next push the validation button from 1 to 5 to select the game. You gain the point by attacking the enemy’s ship or avoiding the collusion of the sun, stars and enemy’s space ship. By pushing spaceship-operating button, you can turn around to the right and left, go forward, fire missile and can emergency-escape. The rest of missile, playing time and score will be desplayed on the screen. By 100 yen you can play for 90 seconds (90 seconds x the number of coins). For beginners – button 0 to 2, semi-pros – 3 to 5 and pros – 6 to 9″

While I didn’t get any hidden clues about the licensing of this game to Taito, it is still a fun read and a fantastic looking flyer. Again, if anyone actually has the Japanese version of this game, drop me a line.
