About The Magic Candle
======================================================
Project History:

This project was started officially by aishsha and I
some time last year, but it had been discussed by us
years before as a potential. I believe aishsha's
motivation was spurred by him wanting to do something
western themed instead of the typical Japanese setting.

aishsha did most of the hacking and the translation and
then handed the project off to me for the finishing
touches. I did some additional hacking and edited the
script.

Now for those that know their PC games, there is a PC
series called The Magic Candle as well, but this game
doesn't really appeared to be related to our knowledge.
In the credits, the devs of the PC games, Mindcraft,
is credited in the credits with a special thanks.
That's about as close as it gets. I've speculated
that perhaps Sammy bought the rights for the games
for a Famicom port, but instead of porting the
game, they made their own game from scratch.

The game itself is pretty decent for the time and
was described to me as Ultima meets DQ. It's a traditional
RPG with 1st person battles. It's got a high encounter
rate and the game requires lots of grinding to keep
up with the tough as hell enemies and bosses.
On the plus side, a lot of effort went into making
sure the script was as good as it could be.
So an enjoyable story awaits those who seek to challenge
themselves.

Patching Instructions
======================================================
Due to the changes in the ROM, the traditional patch
format, IPS, is not used for this translation. The
patch is in BPS format, which can be applied with the
beat patcher relatively easily. See this site for more
information:

Apply the patch to the Japanese ROM:

Magic Candle, The (Japan).nes

We would be highly grateful, if you find some time to 
contact us with proposals or corrections. Information
on found bugs or corrections would be highly 
appreciated.

P.S.

Support the game industry by buying used games!

Even if the money doesn't go to the developers
directly, as the games become rare and harder
to find, the price goes up, and people become
more inclined to buy new releases "while they can!"
