Challenge Project! Try to clear the first "Dragon Quest" overseas version using the automatic translation function of your smartphone! First half

The first "Dragon Quest" was released in 1986. This year (2019), 33 years have passed. I was in elementary school at the time, and of course the game was a big hit at school. On my way home from school, I used to party with my friends, hum the songs from Dragon Quest, and pretend that we had encountered the enemy.

The first Dracula game, "Dracula 1," was released overseas in 1989 under the name "Dragon Warrior" for the NES, the overseas version of the Famicom (NES), three years later than the Japanese version. The game was released in English, of course, but the surrealistic crab-walking protagonist and townspeople now had up-and-down and left-right graphics, battery backup saves were implemented, and the Japanese term "resurrection spell" was eliminated. In addition, the game is more difficult than the Japanese version, with a higher encounter rate and more preemptive attacks by enemies.

This time, I would like to play "Dragon Warrior," the overseas version of "Dracula 1!

Let's play the first Dracula using "Google Translate"!

However, it's no fun to just conquer the game. So, we challenge you to see if you can clear the game using Google Translate, Google's camera-automatic translation application that can be used on smartphones. The English used in the game is not that difficult, so I honestly feel that it would be better to play the game as is, but the destructive power of the fun of "mistranslation" and "alternate interpretations" of the automatic translation was amazing. ...... Will they be able to defeat the "Dragon King"? Also, how will the gimmick of staying at the inn with Princess Laura be expressed? How will the gimmicks such as "the Dragon King" be expressed? This article will be divided into two parts, one before and one after.

Let the adventure begin!

Incidentally, we have not included images of this adventure before translation because we want our readers to experience the same feelings as we did. Please enjoy it from memory.

I know what a "push start" is. But where did "Puerto Rico" come from? And "Oi," a familiar name for a racetrack. And even before the adventure, I was told that I would be dismissed as "single celled" by .......

I'm curious about the "flower," but the rest is about understandable. By the way, I named it "a-souken" as "Akiba Research Institute.

The protagonist is asked by the king of Radadome to rescue the princess. For some reason, the king seems to want some sort of admission to the "United Nations University" .......

I understand within the command window. But when they say "record the deed," for some reason I'm a little embarrassed.

I went out into a field where enemies were appearing and tried a magic command and they told me I was too stupid to use it. I didn't realize there was such a disgusting enemy so close to me. ......

Encountered a slime!　but apparently he is approaching "JIS standards" now. That's a relief.

By the way, the weapons store in Rimurdal, I kind of understand.

Level 10 is just barely enough to (maybe) defeat a dragon, so I'll give it a try. But the brave man is very hard on himself, saying, "I'm not very smart, am I? Can I really beat the dragon?

The dragon that kidnapped Princess Laura appears! But this dragon seems to be "exclusive for Lavi. Who is this Ravi?

The tough battle continues. But wait a minute! What is "accidental barbecue"? Does it mean that the dragon happened to spit fire and got scorched?

I couldn't win at level 10. ...... I think "thou ARB of the dead" kinda makes sense.

There's "another chance" for the king! is a brave man who is told to be soooo carefree. And, in the upper right corner of the screen, there is a "DOCHINKO" ....... I'm getting mentally sick of saving the princess already.

I'm going to level up for a while and try the dragon again! But then Chimera became "AA batteries".

I want to defeat Goldman for money, but "Ichijita" on his face? And he is surely going to be dissed as a "nerd".

Come on! I challenge the dragon again! But apparently the dragon is into some kind of religion or football thing .......

It was a stupid dragon (a lie) and I succeeded in defeating it. The brave man is also "daughter"!OE! I don't know what the word means, but he is getting excited about something.

Now, let's do the promised "stay at the inn with the princess". The main command already says "strip," so she seems to be in a state of considerable excitement. And the night has come. ......

Apparently, thou hast "haase" successfully. What is a haase, by the way?

And it seems that he "had an ass". In other words, a great success.

This is the end of the first half.

We have sent you from the opening to defeating the dragon, rescuing Princess Laura, and the "break" in addition.

The automatic translation is quite surreal and probably impossible to capture for first-time players.

By the way, the "rest" scene at the end has a "we had a good time last night, didn't we?" feeling when translated, but in fact, the dialogue is the same whether you stay alone or with the princess in the overseas version. ......

Next time, I'll continue this way to get the armor, the mark, and the sword of Lot and defeat the Dragon King! How will it all end!

Continue to Part 2!
