A project nearly a year and a half in the making is ready at last — fan hacker Hemulen uploaded an English translation patch for Iron Storm: Operation Files, plus a retranslation patch for the original Iron Storm! Hemulen spoke with me about his process:

A comedy in three parts:

  • A 1999 interview with head of the video game publisher Working Designs, Victor Ireland:
Rudo: What was the original name of the game in Japan? Or was it something in Japanese?

Vic: No, actually, it wasn't in Japanese, but I'll let you figure this one out. I'm not going to tell you. We went to great pain to cut out the original name because it SUCKED! It was terrible! There's a very good animation intro for the game, but it had the original name in there and we didn't have time to fix it, so we just cut the intro completely from the E3 demo, but there will be a very cool intro for the final game that says Detonator Gauntlet on it. Anyway, I'll let you try to figure out that the original name of the game way.
  • From GameSpot: "Working Designs has renamed Detonator Gauntlet, the upcoming strategy RPG for the PlayStation. Due to pressure from Midway over the rights to the Gauntlet name, Working Designs has now decided to call the game Vanguard Bandits."
  • Wikipedia: "Vanguard Bandits, known in Japan as Epica Stella,[a] is a tactical role-playing game (RPG) for the PlayStation."

Just absolutely amazed how different all the titles are.
