That would be more the area of expertise of Melanesians, some Micronesians as well as Polynesians, and many of the Aborigines pre-contact with Europeans.

There are stories of the Japanese troops eating people during WW2. I don't remember if they did it for intimidation, or because they had no food.

>> No.9668897

>>9668891
Most of what is said about WW2 has been nothing but hearsay with zero evidence, simply taken as fact out of ignorant trust in authority.

Japanese at the time had a sort of shamanistic belief in sympathetic magic. (ie. eat your enemies liver to gain his courage, eat his eyes to gain his intelligence, eat tiger penis and rhino horn to make your dick big and fierce, etc.) It's still common in less developed east Asian countries.
>>9668897
Yes, but in this case it was likely true. I mean, the Japs that did it admitted to it afterwards. Most of the propaganda was placed where it was needed, the European front

Segagaga was one I thought never would be but it seems like they are making a hack for that. But still, until it's out, that one never will be. Too many videos and Sega in-jokes which would be hard to translate.

It’s probably the worst RPG ever made, but if you get some friends together and one of them is masochistic enough to play it, you’ll have a great time gawking at how psychotically the game was programmed.

Wizardry 5 seems to be getting some replay among the local autists in my town, maybe someone will translate that to a modern system.
Kind of hard to see how, though.
The old version was written years before it got published so was dated on release. The first upgrades in Japan were censored when released in the US. Then there was another Japanese version on the FM Towns, with redrawn art, which didn't get translated.
So which is the "Real" version?

>samefag
... yes yes I know, "Translated" for OP means a Japanese game written for the Japanese, to be translated to English.
I was here commenting on a game improved in Japan which improvement went nowhere back in the West. I suggest that this counts . . .

No they didn't, you're talking out of your ass. All of the reports of cannibalism were on remote islands, such as where George H.W. Bush crashed. It happened because they ran out of food and they were literally starving to death. The "shamanistic" shit you claimed is just a lie you made up.

>> No.9675574

>>9675554
Step 1: don't. It's impossible for translations to truly be accurate, especially when you add in the technological limitations that retro game translations are bound to, like limited character space. Leave it be, if anyone really wants to play it they can add it to the pile of games to learn Japanese for.
