* General Info
Japanese Title: Koutetsu no GARUFURENDO (Girlfriend of Steel)
Official English Title: Iron Maiden
(C) 1997 GAINAX
English translation: version 1.0 20th June 2003
Translation: EclipseZeta
Editing, hacking and repacking: roxfan
* Changes from Japanese version
The original Girlfriend of Steel PC Game was occupying 4CDs. By compressing
voice data to 128kbps MP3 it was possible to squeeze it on one CD without
a noticable quality loss. Ending song was compressed at 160kbps.
The translation is complete, there is no untranslated Japanese text left
that I'm aware of. Interface of all programs have been translated too, but
some of the text was translated blindly, without context, so you might get
some "engrisghness" in e.g. the error messages.
I tried to play the whole game with all possible branches, but of course I
can't guarantee that the text is 100% correct and the script is free of
bugs ^_^
Translated game doesn't need Japanese support for playing, though it uses
MS Gothic font for displaying in-game choice menus. It wasn't tested on a
system without this font, so you might get some spacing problems if you
don't have it.
* Ending
I was planning to subtitle the ending song too, but didn't have time to
do it, so if you want to know what it's about, look here:

Also, I couldn't find a nice way to translate the ending credits in-game,
so I'm providing the translation at the end of this file.
* Random info
The script is about 120KB, around 2800 lines. Game engine scripts are
simple text files, slightly encrypted, so it was quite easy to modify them.
If the same system is used on Playstation and Sega versions, then it should
be quite easy to make a patch for those versions as well.
* Contact info
If you want to port the translation to another platform or
translate in another language, or have found a bug, you can find me on
IRC, mostly on irc.enterthegame.com, nick roxfan. I usually hang out in
#solar. I also have MSN Messenger, my id is [email protected]. The latter
is my email that you can write to.
