About Jigoku Gokurakumaru
======================================================
Background: 

Jigoku Gokurakumaru was officially released as
Kabuki Quantam Fighter, but it was quite different
from the original Japanese version. So I decided to
translate it.

The original game was either a cash-in or loosed inspired
by an obscure Japanese movie called Zipangu, I think.
The title of the game actually comes from the name
of the protaginist there.

Anyhow, hacking this game was a lot of work due to the
surprising amount of text. It has much more text than
your average action game, but in the end was dealt with.

I have to shamefully admit that I released a faulty
bug fix patch and am now only getting to fixing the
minor issue. Better late than never.

I wrote an article for this game on Hardcoregaming 101,
see that for info on the game.

We would be highly grateful, if you find some time to 
contact us with proposals or corrections. Information
on found bugs or corrections would be highly 
appreciated.

P.S.

Support the game industry by buying used games!

Even if the money doesn't go to the developers
directly, as the games become rare and harder
to find, the price goes up, and people become
more inclined to buy new releases "while they can!"
