Argos No Senshi: Hachamecha Daishingeki Translation (English Translation) NES

This is a retranslation of Rygar, specifically the original Japanese Argos no Senshi version. Rygar was changed heavily when officially localized, which makes this patch preferable for purists.

Notes:

Argos no Senshi had a completely different OST from Rygar, which is mostly noticeable in the dungeons where the Japanese track was much longer. This patch uses the Japanese OST
The script in this retranslation takes a middle ground between the official English localization and the original Japanese. As such, localized terms like Eruga are respected, but localized terms which were not close to their Japanese counterparts have been restored
The original Japanese logo is used. A related bug is fixed as of version 1.1
The original ending screen, while always in English, has been reworded to flow more naturally
