Summary

An English translation of SWAT: Special Weapons and Tactics, a first-person Famicom game combining tactical simulation and turn-based role-playing elements. Players guide a team through a multi-floor operation involving enemies, hostages, equipment, and a time limit.

Credits

  • Script translation: Filler
  • Technical implementation: Psyklax
  • Complete release credits should be verified from the original patch readme.

Release

The English translation was released on March 16, 2018 in xdelta format. The canonical external link intentionally points to ROMhacking.net's game database entry because that page presents both the English translation and a separate out-of-bounds patch. The latter fixes an original-game error that can make the game impossible to complete under some conditions, so players should be made aware of both patches.

Preservation notes

Filler's March 2018 announcement records the transition from completed script to technical production. No local patch or separate script package was found. A future preservation set should include the translation patch, the out-of-bounds fix, and their respective documentation while keeping their authorship and purposes distinct.
