SAGA #2 - Pirate's Adventure (パイレーツアドベンチャー) - NEC-8801 Walkthrough

I think "Pirate Adventure" should've been more prominent.

YouTube playthrough available as well.  Visit the following link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR6gjaesmQA

After I went through the steep learning curve of playing a Japanese adventure game for the first time, I was at least a little more prepared for the second one.  The translation came much more quickly, as I'm getting better at recognizing the Katakana script the NEC computer's put out.  Going to be an entirely different ballgame if I start to run into Hirogana and Kanji, but we'll leave that for another time.  

For now, I bring you a walkthrough for Scott Adams second Graphic Adventure game - "Pirate's Adventure".  As far as the gameplay, this is one of the more enjoyable in all the Scott Adam's chronology.  Yes, it is one of the easiest, but in a way that is good.  The objectives are clear enough... get to Treasure Island by building a boat, and then recover the treasures there. Some of the challenges is definitely in inventory juggling (you can only carry so much)... but there are a few key puzzles, which have a natural-feeling solution.  The one I didn't like much was trying to figure out the exact wording to solve the "pace 30 and dig" puzzle.  

In any case, here is my Japanese walkthrough, so that you can play this on a PC-8801, or a PC-9801.  The M88 emulator I have lets you type in Romaji, and it converts it nicely to the proper Katakana.  Far easier than trying to locate each symbol on a Japanese keyboard.  For the PC-9801, I created a script I run in the "AutoHotKey" program.  It closely matches the Romaji input approach, so that again... you can basically type in words and it converts to the symbols you need.  (ask me about it if you want to try the PC-9801 version... as I had to use it for that system).

THEN you are informed that it wasn't a mongoose, and you just see "dead squirrel" in the description.  Brilliant fun!

akeru toranku - (open trunk) 
   - suruto nakakara kittega detekimashita  (then a stamp came out from inside)

miru kitte - (look stamp) 

One of most elaborate renders in the game.  Cool.

sukoa - (score)  - 1 treasure, and 50 points
otosu kinka - (drop gold)
sukoa - (score) - 2 treasure, 100 points.  WIN!!


FINAL MESSAGE:

anataha 2tsuno takarawo mitsukemashita  - (you've found two treasures)
tokutenha 100 desu  - (your score is 100)
anataha 2tsuno takaramonowo midotoni takarajimakara mochikameu mashita
    - (you have 2 treasures in the basement from Treasure Island)
korede anatano daiboukenha owarimashita  - (This is the end of your great adventure)
OK


So there you go.  Hope you enjoyed it.  Clearly these are superior graphics to even the Apple II version, which is probably the most familiar.  It's been a lot of fun for me to make my way through these adventures and see the improved graphics.  I've also enjoyed getting familiar with Japanese, although I'm a LONG way from any sense of using the language yet.

SAGA#1 - Adventureland (アドベンチャーランド) - NEC PC-8801 Walkthrough

NOTE: I uploaded the complete playthrough on YouTube as well.  YouTube version is PC-8801, the screenshots are from the PC-9801:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpHsy-9LODY&t=941s

Recently I was playing through all the Scott Adam's Adventures, taking notes, preparing for posting on each of those text-adventures.  Mr. Adams was a significant part of the early home computing market, becoming an early pioneer of gathering games under a software house.  His Adventure Intl. company was one of the big players for a few years there in the early 80's.  But it all started with his first game called "Adventureland", which was in-turn inspired by the famous "ADVENT" that swept through college campuses lucky enough to own a mainframe computer.  

What I want to do here, though, is to talk about Scott Adam's Graphic Adventure #1.  Naturally, this is also called Adventureland - but this time includes a graphic engine on-top of the original text-only game.  His first graphic version of Adventureland came out on the Apple II in 1982.  The Atari 8-bit machines got their version in 1983.  There was also a Commodore 64 and Spectrum ZX version in 1985.  What I never knew about until just recently was that a Japanese company, Starcraft, also did their own version of Adventureland for the three top Japanese home computers of the era.  I had to take a look at those:

Booting up the game lands you "In the forest"

Once I figured out an emulator and found the game, it felt special to boot up a game I didn't even know existed.  Lo and behold, the graphics looked better than all previous versions I'd seen!  I'm sure they stuck closer to the original designs, in part because of the higher resolution of NEC systems.  Japanese text demanded higher resolution to be able to display complex Japanese text (katakana, hiragana or kanji.)  But this was certainly worth exploring more!  Only one problem... being entirely in Japanese, I couldn't even figure out how to "go east" or "climb tree" to see even one additional screen. I was stuck... tantalized by graphics lying a few kana characters away.

I decided it was high time for me to learn some Japanese.  Before playing this game, I didn't even know about the different writing systems.  The game was presenting some strange symbols -- I didn't even know yet they were called "katakana".  I learned, too, that there is no easy way to "screenshot" and translate any of this, as these computers from 1982 are not displaying katakana as a modern visual translator would recognize.  So it sent me down a path of comparing the wikipedia for each letter and slowly figuring out the romaji (a roman letter spelling of the word).  

Katakana charaters "a, na, ta, ha"  = romaji "anataha"  = you (English)

Shortly then, it started to be a guess the noun or verb game, and seeing if the system recognized any of my commands.  I found some helpful website lists of verbs & nouns, and started to have success!

Success!  I went UP the tree.  It worked!

Exciting!  I was off and running.  2 weeks of intensive katakana translation, lots of google translations, and searching the web... I eventually played through the entire game.  Nowhere online could I find any kind of walkthrough for this game.  I thought here's my chance to help others along this path by publishing my own walkthrough.  Basically, to me the NEC PC-8801 and PC-9801 versions are the best versions of this game anywhere... I hope more people get to explore it now via this walkthrough.

VARIANTS:

There ended up being three main variants of this game:

SAGA #1 - initial version

Characterized by items being drawn on screen that were present.  Picking up an object redraws that part of the screen to "remove" the object, and vice-versa.

Apple II (1982) - preferred
Atari 8-bit (1983) - not as bad as it looks from screenshots on MobyGames, etc.  You DO have to adjust colors considerably from emulator defaults.

SAGA #1 - Japanese import (by Starcraft)
This fascinating version has the best graphics of any version! Looks like the exact same graphic source as initial version. It also continues to draw all objects on screen that are present.  There were modifications made as well, the graphics never drop from view... all text is contained in the 5 text-rows at bottom of screen.  Sometimes, you'll have to "look room" and "look objects" to learn more.

Fujitsu FM-7 (1984)
NEC PC-8801 (1984) - either NEC computer has same graphics & play
NEC PC-9801 (1984) - same as PC-8801 

SAGA #1 - 2nd English version. 
Simplified version for the C64 and Speccy, this version doesn't bother with any objects drawn to the screen.  It simply has one background image for a location, and doesn't display any objects on it.  You have to read the text to even know that items are present.

Commodore 64 (1985) -
ZX Spectrum (1985)  - preferred (more vibrant color in the graphics, full load off cassette one-time)

WALKTHROUGH / SOLUTION

Here now is the walkthrough.  First is the romaji input (if your emulator allows romaji, it is by far the easiest way to type & play)... after that is the keyboard keys to input straight kana characters . Finally is of course is the action you're performing described in English.

** SPOILERS AHEAD **  

Starting Location: 
Forest

So many things begin in the forest...
