Can someone tell me a list of english RPGs for the MSX? I tried to look on gamefaqs and all I found were japanese ones.

Please, I doubt there are many if any in spanish but that would help too. Thanks in advance!

Did the Rune Worth translation ever get finished? I see DJango has a "partial" translation but how "partial" is it? How far does it go, exactly WHAT is translated¿

You absolutely must try this game.
I got to the end of the adventure with my own translation.
All menus, magic, items, equipment, cities, main characters are translated.
Help, screenshots and walkthough -------> http://www.passionmsx.org/
In the download, I think there are 2 versions, have a look.

The best RPG's games I've translated are: Randar 3, XZR 2, La Valeur.

All the Umax RPGs are very nice too imho, such as Pumpkin Adventure 2 & 3, Lost World, Realms of Adventure and Witch's Revenge.

Try also Monster Hunter and Deep Dungeon, both are MSXDev games. The first one is a nice console-like RPG in English (and Spanish too IIRC) and the second is a pleasant hack'n slash.

I've not translated NPC text because I don't understand japonese at all.
I beat almost all those games without walkthrough, and in Japanese version, then why not you?

because it's more fun to play understanding it.

Of course ! It is even weird when someone wanted to "translate" some cotes from games. Imagine the strange 'mixed' cotes from texts in English and Portuguese languages ...
