I'm tempted to purchase some of the games and expansions (again) in Japanese, but am a little worried about running Japanese software on a UK PC, amongst other things... Since the older games are now bargain-bin products, I figure playing them might prove a fun and relatively cheap way for me practice my Japanese skills. However, I have a number of concerns...
Availability: Are Japanese versions of the games and expansions available? I've only heard of a Japanese version of Shogun to date...
Speech: Is the speech in Japanese versions in English or Japanese? Is it possible to change between the two? (Useful if I ever get confused, or if I start missing Sean Pertwee's voice!)
Text: As above. Also, would my computer have any problem reading the text (sometimes it likes Japanese, sometimes it doesn't...)
Compatibility: Would the software even be compatible with a UK machine running (I assume) a UK version of Windows XP?
Sorry, I tend to get paranoid about this kind of thing... Computers are very fickle creatures ;)
I'm not sure anybody here will be able to help, but if you can it would be really good... It's either that or ask CA...
