Romhacking.net has some translations for NEC machines and the X68000, where you can find patches to play classics like Die Bahnwelt and Marble Cooking:

Sadly, Illusion City's translation effort has stalled due to reasons. At least folks want to translate Micro Cabin's games.

| Stuff to do as a J-PC gamer |

Many J-PC games do not require Japanese-to-x language translations for full enjoyment (titles from dbSOFT or Exact, for example). But translating documentation beneficial to J-PC ROM hacking is a long term goal worth pursuing. Some guys like Retroprograms are already pursuing these texts and scanning them for future use. More than a few of these games made it to the West for MS-DOS users—Sierra published Game Arts' games up to Zeliard, SoftEgg localized Princess Maker 2, and Megatech brought over Power DoLLS.

Japanese CRPGs got their start on the early 8-bit machines. Here's a great series of articles talking about games like Mugen no Shinzou and Poibos:
