    Even with a fixed translation, I would not say II was an excellent game.

      Nah, it’s great and has some of the best music in the series. I mean, it introduced Bloody Tears!

      Try a romhack of the game, like Simon’s Redaction or Simon’s Quest Retranslated, it’s absolutely worth a play.

        Yeah the soundtrack is good. But imo those hacks aren’t enough to save it. I liked CV 3 though.

          I love CV3 but it’s brutal, I’ve played it off and on since around 1991 or so and still never finished it.

          Have you played the Japanese version, Akumajō Densetsu? Some of the tracks in that version are even better with the use of the fancy sound chip (VRC6).

            Yeah it’s a great extension chip. There’s a romhack that lets you control your jump arcs, makes it a bit easier.
