!WARNING! - LOTS OF FLASHING LIGHTS in this video!
[Since I noticed that the picture quality took quite a blow with this upload, especially stage 2 being a blurry mess, I might try to improve it with another upload later on. Sorry for that.]

This is a full playthrough of everyone’s favorite PC-Engine Shoot’em Up. ;)
With the release of the PC-Engine Mini and the game still not having gotten a full translation, I figured it’d be a nice little project to start off with.
Me being neither a professional translator, nor a native English speaker though, this of course won’t have the kind of quality you'd expect of something official. Since this was also my first attempt at subbing something and using a subtitle editing software, the timing and splitting of lines etc. will probably be a bit rough. Criticism and pointing out of errors (be it about grammar, the translation or other stuff) is of course very welcome since I want to improve for future projects. Just keep the above in mind and please don’t instantly teer and feather me. :)
For consistency, I re-used the names and terms of what was already there at the Spriggan-Wiki on aleste.fandom.com. The rest I came up with myself from what I think to have made out during the in-game cut-scenes. This can of course easily be altered if things sound too silly and/or people come up with better names.
As before, this is a capture that was done by filming the game running on an old CRT with an actual PC-Engine connected to it. Since I sadly can't adjust the exposition/frequency more precisely on this camera, I can't get rid of the strobe line - which I hope is not too distracting.
Besides that I’m glad this run turned out the way it did, since I hadn’t played this in years and only did one test run beforehand, during which the final boss pretty much handed my ass to me. Though the translation was my main focus with this, I still didn't want to annoy potential viewers by dying to dumb stuff left and right. XD
Concerning the game itself, I don’t think much else can be said about Spriggan that hasn't been already. Most people probably know it anyway by now and it’s imo really as good as everyone says. Great pixel art, superb soundtrack, technically flawless, fun gameplay and leveldesign, while also offering a cool and unique setting on top. Which hopefully, with this upload, people not proficient in Japanese might be able to enjoy even a bit more now.
