...and you can't play it. That's the reality that we English-speaking people have had to live with ever since 'Policenauts' was first released for the NEC PC-9801 way back in 1994. Work began on a translated release for the Sega Saturn in 1996, but alas, it was cancelled, and it seemed that 'Policenauts' was doomed to an eternity of Japanese exclusitivity, out-of-reach for those outside of the land of the rising sun.
That is, until today, when that supposed 'enternity' was mercilessly shattered into a million pieces, for today, Kojima-san's 46th birthday, marks the release of the unofficial Policenauts translation patch, after many years in the making.
This wondrous project has finally enabled we non-Japanese speakers to play the game previous only referenced briefly in Konami's 'Metal Gear Solid'.
In case your skull is so firmly encased in carbonite that you have yet to get the point of my drawn-out and woefully pretentious wordplay, I will sum up what you have to do in three simple steps:
1. Ensure you have a modded/boot disc enabled Playstation, or a working emulator set-up.
2. Go to http://policenauts.net/ and download the translation patch.
3. Play one of the best games of all time.
There. Simple, wasn't it?
