ROM Information
Dynamite Headdy (Japan).md - NOINTROTranslation description
Dynamite Headdy was one of those great games that unfortunately went through a process known as "localization". Nearly all the dialogue was removed, and what little remained was changed. Furthermore, many of the graphics were modified and this already challenging game had its difficulty level pumped up significantly.Screenshots

I never played the final western release, but hearing how there was no continues or story, I had no interest in it. This not only makes the difficulty way more manageable by giving the same number of continues as the Japanese version, it also fully restores the story. I can't comment on how accurate the translating was, but it contains no spelling or grammatical errors and has a lot of charming humor. | |||

As the author says, this is one of many games that were made worse by the localization process (the worst example on this system is probably Bare Knuckle 3/Street of Rage 3). This hack is simple and effective: It puts English texts in the Japanese game, which makes it the best possible way to play this "treasure". Recommended without any reservations. | |||
