Game Identification

[satoshi_matrix]

It's the pulseline version. Black cart.

[Mo]

I've got a copy of Binaryland I might be willing to sell if you're interested.

I will PM ya!

[Mo]

I'm thinking of buying "Final commando" is the game any good-do ya peeps rate it?

[satoshi_matrix]

Need the katakana for a few more covers: I've bought these off ebay and they haven't arrived yet, so I'm at a disatvantage of reading the cart labels yet 

Astroboy (I know the title translates Tetsuwan Atomu, but I specifically want to write out astroboy in katakana. I wrote it as アサタロボイ which I'm pretty sure is wrong  )
Castle Exellent
Challenger
Championship Lode Runner
Dragon Spirit
Field Combat
Gargoyle's Quest II (looking for the katakana of this, not the Red err....something whatever its called)
Rainbow Islands
Tiger-Heli
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Top Gun

As a side note, can I get a traslation for Nazo no Kabe? that game's so wierd I'd like to attempt to understand its title at least


Many thanks in advance.

Powers out and I'm on my phone so the katakana will have to wait
but, nazo no kabe means wall of mystery or mystery of the wall
substitute mystery with riddle if you want

[satoshi_matrix]

ah thanks kite. Wow your power's out and you still help me! What a guy

[manuel]

So you want the katakana to your titles down there (regardless of the original Japanese title)?
Here you go!

Astroboy -> アストロボーイ
Castle Exellent　-> カースルエクセレント
Challenger->　チャレンジャー
Championship Lode Runner ->　チャンピオンシップロードランナー
Dragon Spirit ->　ドラゴンスピリット
Field Combat ->　フィールドコンバット
Gargoyle's Quest II ->　ガーゴイルズクエストII
Rainbow Islands ->　レインボーアイランド
Tiger-Heli ->　タイガーヘリ
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ->　ティーンエイジ・ミュータント・ヒーロー・タートルズ
Top Gun ->　トップガン

Nazo no Kabe?
I'd translate it as "Wall of Riddles".
I personally also wouldn't say mystery, because it has a bit different meaning. Mystery is "shinpi" (神秘) in Japanese. What we call occultism in the West is derived from there and called shinpigaku (神秘学) in Japanese.

@kite: It can't be "mystery of the wall" , simply because of the difference in syntax.
riddle of the wall would be the other way round: kabe no nazo

[kite200]

good point I should have remembered the game nazo no murasamejou when translating this one.

Anyway power is still out

[satoshi_matrix]

Browsing through the back pages of this thread, I discovered something

http://www.keddy.net/~titose/touma1.html

this game looks extremely interesting.

What's the title? is it a hack? is it for the Famicom or Disk System?

[satoshi_matrix]

Notes: 
I know the second Batman game on the Famicom is called Dynamite Batman, but that really doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. The Rockman subtitles I'm looking for the correct herigana or katakana, not direct to-japanese versions of what I listed in English.

[manuel]

Here you go.
I'll only write up the incomplete stuff here in kana.

Akumajou Dracula -> あくまじょうドラキュラ
Akumajou Densetsu -> あくまじょうでんせつ
Akumajou Special" Boku Dracula Kun! 　あくまじょうスペシャル　ぼくドラキュラくん
Atlantis no Nazo ->　アトランティスのなぞ 
Batman Return of the Joker -> バットマン　リターン・オブ・ザ・ジョーカー(?)
Binary Land -> バイナリィランド
City Connection ->　シティーコネクション
Doki Doki Panic: Yume Kojo -> ドキ ドキパニック: ゆめこうじょう
Famicom Jump! Eiyuu Retsuden ->   ファミコンジャンプえいゆうれつでん
Famicom Wars -> ファミコン ワォーズ
Famicom Detective Club ->　ファミコンたんていクラブ
Fire Emblem Ankoku Ryu to Hikari no Ken -> ファイヤーエムブレム　あんこくりゅうとひかりのけん

Ganbare Goemon 2　がんばれごえもん２
Gegege no Kitarou Youkai Dai Makyou  ->ゲゲゲのきたろう　ようかいだいまきょう
T-> Kitarou's Gegege: The big ghost from the world of demons
I'm afraid that's a clumsy and false translation. I personally would translate it to "Gegege no Kitaro u- Demon World" (Gegege no Kitarou is the name of the main character and it can't be translated without making it sound awful)
Getsufuu Maden　げつふうまでん
T-> The Legend of the Evil Moonwind
According to the internets  the title is "The Legend of Getsu Fuuma" (Getsu Fuuma being the name of the main character)
Great Battle Cyber -> グレイトバトルサイバー
King's Knight ->　キングスナイト
Matendouji まてんどいじ
Metroid ->　メトロイド
Nazo no Kabe -> なぞ の かべ T-> The Riddle of the Wall
Parodius Da! -> パロディウスだ！
Rockman 2 Dr Wily's Revenge ->　ロックマン２　Dr.ワイリーのなぞ　（Dr. Wily's Riddle)
Rockman 3 Dr. Wily's End!?  -> ロックマン３　Dr.ワイリーのさいご！？
Rockman 4 A New Ambition!! -> ロックマン４　あらたなるやぼう！！
Rockman 5 Blues's Trap!? ->　ロックマン５　ブルースのわな！？
Rockman 6 The Greatest Battle in History!! -> ロックマン６　しじょうさいだいのたたかい！！
Spelunker -> スペランカー
Super Momotaro Dentetsu -> スーパーももたろうでんてつ
Star Wars ->　スターウォーズ
Takahashi Meijin no Bug tte Hanii たかはしめいじんのBUGってハニー
T-> Master Tahashi's Honey the Bug
This title doesn't seem to get it right, but I can't come up with a better one without investing some time - which I don't have - in research....
Tatakai no Banka(Trojin) -> たたかいのばんか
Youkai Douchuuki ようかいどうちゅうき　T-> The Travel Journal of Ghosts

Wow, that took some time. Should we meet some time, you treat me to dinner, right?

[satoshi_matrix]

  ワイ! ワイ!

Yay!! Thanks so much manuel. such a big help! I take it the titles you didn't add to your edit are fine the way they are?

[manuel]

I didn't double-check the titles specifically. At first glance they looked ok.
