Unused Text#

As this game uses the same script, pointers, and assets as the PC-88 version it was ported from, it also has the same unused dialog and item names found in it.

Item Names#

The text for the 'Status Screen' has names in it that do not appear in the game. These names are likely leftover from the development process, but since the game writes what the player has (or doesn't have) to memory on top of this, it doesn't matter. *Note: These names being present does not necessarily mean the data for these items is still present (status unknown).

LARGE SHIELD

HALF PLATE

POTION OF HEAL

J.D. RING

1 UP

Dialogue#

There is a fair amount of unused text in this game. All of these text blocks have pointers in the appropriate pointer tables, however nothing triggers them (special thanks to mizuwari & forrealsyall for help with translating some of these).

 はっこつしたいが たいまつの ひかりに

The skeletal fragments glow in a pale blue light from the torch.

Adol

    したいの はめていた ゆびわが
 かすかな ひかりを はなっているようだ。
 なんの ゆびわだか わからないが 
 とにかく もっていくことにしよう。

The ring seems to be emitting a faint glow. I don't know what kind of ring it is, but I'll take it with me regardless.

Adol

 とびらは いっぽうつうこうに なっているようだ。
 いくら おしても ひらかない。

The door seems to be one-way only. No matter how hard I push, it won't open.

アドルが 6さつ の ほんを かさねると
 まばゆいばかりの ひかりが あふれだし
 あたりは やわらかな やすらぎに つつまれていった。

As Adol stacked the six books, a dazzling light began to pour out, and the surroundings were enveloped in a soft, peaceful atmosphere.
