Summary

An English translation of the PC Engine adventure game Bubblegum Crash!: Knight Sabers 2034, based on the cyberpunk anime series and its armored vigilante team.

Credits

  • Initial programming: David Shadoff
  • Translation: Filler
  • Programming and final implementation: Tomaitheous

Release

ROMhacking.net dates the public patch to December 24, 2007. The recovered project heading records completion on December 26, and Matt announced the release on December 28. These represent separate release, completion-record, and announcement dates.

History

Filler and David Shadoff began the project privately in January 2004 while also working on Maison Ikkoku. Translation proceeded after early table-file issues, but the intended narrower font routine stalled. Tomaitheous revived the technical work in late 2006, leading to an inserted script, beta testing, text fixes, and eventual completion of the final dungeon and release preparations.

Preservation notes

No release package was recovered locally, and the sole screenshot referenced by the legacy page is missing. The original readme should be recovered to verify the public version, detailed testing credits, and whether the page's mention of version 1.2 referred to a beta or the final package.
