注意。空行にはダミーでスペースでも入れといてくれ。 =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== ==================================================== ここから先はゲームとはまったく関係ありません。 今回北米および欧州仕様へのカスタマイズを担当したのは、 私こと中村っす。そして、私が知る人ぞ知る「ちゃぷ」っす。 日本版でかなわなかったことを少しづつかなえるべく ちょっとばかりあがいてみました。銃の精度が劇的に 向上しているのがいちばん大きいかな？ 熊本はええのぉ。私は気が滅入るとすぐに会社をふけて 阿蘇の温泉とかに行ったり、昼寝を決めたりするの です。温泉はええよぉ。べつに混浴でなくともええよん。 現在、彼女募集中です。とゆーか、一生懸命がんばっています。 結婚するとかしないとかじゃなくって、何かさびしーじゃん。 ちゃぷ／なかむらたくみ, GBA02750@niftyserve.or.jp X68000 よ、永遠なれ。まだまだくたばるまいぞ。 ...5 月 30 日、欧州版はぽしゃってしまった。 =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== ==================================================== You're welcome! Please e-mail to me when you read this message. My address is GBA02750@niftyserve.or.jp, . You should know, Hiro Utsumi's name is Ryo Kurotsu, and Nash Stolar's name is Marco Antonelli, in Japanese version. We call Hiro Kurotsu, and call Nash Marco! chapuni/Takumi Nakamura =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== ==================================================== それにしても、海外版のこれ(Project: Horned Owl)を 持っている日本人のあなた。つくづく熱心やねぇ。そして、この メッセージを発見してしまったあなた。あなただよ。暇ねぇ。 とーぜんながら、書いている俺はもっと暇だ(ウソ)。 =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== ====================================================

Note: The empty lines are filler, replace them with spaces or something. =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== ==================================================== This section is not related to the game in any way. I, Nakamura, was responsible for customizing the North American and European release. Those who know me call me chapuni. I fought a little to get some of the things we could not fit into the Japanese version of the game. I think the biggest one was the vast improvement to aiming precision. Kumamoto's a nice place. I would just leave the office whenever I lost motivation and would go to a hot spring in Aso or just take a catnap. Hot springs are great; it doesn't even have to be mixed-gender. I'm currently looking for a girlfriend. You could say that I'm trying very hard to find one. Not because I feel like I have to get married, but it's lonely, y'know? chapuni/Takumi Nakamura, GBA02750@niftyserve.or.jp So long, X68000. Don't kick the can yet. ...May 30, the European release was scrapped. =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== ==================================================== You're welcome! Please e-mail to me when you read this message. My address is GBA02750@niftyserve.or.jp, .

We call Hiro Kurotsu, and call Nash Marco! chapuni/Takumi Nakamura =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== ==================================================== Come to think of it, you're a Japanese person with an overseas version of this thing (Project: Horned Owl). You must like the game quite a bit. What's more, you found this message. Yes, you. Aren't you a bored one. Of course, that applies to me as well, since I'm writing all this (except not really). =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== =================================================== ====================================================
