We never distribute ROMs. You need your own copy of the Japanese cartridge. ゴリラーマン / The Gorilla Man, Famicom, published by Yonezawa PR21 and released in Japan on 28 April 1993, played in English with the Patch Clan fan translation. It is a party board game, not an RPG: up to six students of Shiratake High (Fujimoto, Abe, Nakajima, Tanabe, Nimura and Tsuruta) roll the dice through one school day, from the morning train to the ride home, collecting Event Points (EV), HP and money on the way. Why this one is worth a look: The first English translation of The Gorilla Man. The game never left Japan, and until now it had no patch of any kind, in any language. It is based on Harold Sakuishi's manga ゴリラーマン (Weekly Young Magazine, 1988-1993), by the author who later created Beck. The manga was never officially published in English either. A whole school day packed into a board: event cards, a uniform check at the gate, a desk game in the classroom, the Gorilla-Man Quiz, baseball, a 50m dash, arm wrestling, roulette, horse racing, Big or Small and a stop at Wolf Ramen. How this ending works: pick the scenario "The Mysterious Girl" on the title blackboard. An unbelievably cute girl has transferred to Shiratake High, and word is she goes for the hardcore delinquent type. When the day ends, the student with the most HP wins the date, and each of the six characters has an ending illustration of his own. In the original cartridge this scenario froze right after that illustration; with the patch it finishes and returns to the title screen. Two bugs in the original cartridge kept a match from reaching its end. In two of the three scenarios, "I Don't Want to Get Expelled!" and "The Mysterious Girl", the game locked up when you pressed A after the ending illustration; only "Go for It! Revolution at Shiratake High" made it to the end. And a single player running out of HP ended the match for everyone, on a GAME OVER screen that only a reset could leave. Both are fixed in this translation. If you would rather play in Japanese, the Patch Clan also has a separate bug-fix patch with only those two fixes (34 bytes). Do not apply the two patches together: each one goes on the original Japanese ROM.
