FOREWORD
I’m
going to make this
short so you can move along
and enjoy what you came here for!
The
work you will be
reading is at once an autobiography, an enthusiast’s ode
to the early years of gaming, and a coming of age story
of boy-meets-cartridge.
This
narrative is remarkable to me, not because I
figure
much into it, but because of how deeply connected
the author is with a game I happened to localize while
I worked for Squaresoft in the 90s. I was lucky to have
been able to “hook my wagon” to the smart and creative
teams at Square for a time. Like Michael P. Williams,
I look back fondly on those 16-bit works of art, and
am glad to have played a small role in making them
available outside of Japan.
The
art of translation can be characterized as an
exercise in channeling, sitting inactive for hours, trying to
balance concision, resourcefulness, and faithfulness to the
original game.
There
is always the deadline, as well—that
ever-present elephant in the translator’s brainpan.
