Ichimura should be Takashi, not Ani. Unless that's a nickname or joke I don't understand.


Thanks for the translation, shame about the answers :)

Once again, Gaijin, you rock the heezy-fo-sheezy.
Q: This is the world's first game with a reset command as a hidden feature. What do you think of that based on effects it might've had on high score players and in terms of profits?
-There are people that require a reset command, so we put it there. (Crusty)
Has anyone discovered how to do the reset command (I don't have Jon's Dangun board anymore, to try it myself ;) ). Maybe try holding 1 and 2 player Start and insert a credit?

Random question: twe, would you consider "irregardless" a legitimate English word? A friend insisted that it was indeed a word because it appears in many modern dictionaries and enough people use it now that it's generally accepted. I contended that it's not accepted because it contains a double negative of sorts ( "ir" and "less", saying something to the effect of "not without") and is basically a grammatical mistake that keeps perpetuating itself. I realize that mistakes like this often creep into the lexicon over time, but it just seems silly to me. As a linguist, what's your opinion?

ud: Someone in the Dangun strategy thread said he thought he had a defective board. You might want to ask him to do some tests. I'll look around and see if I can find anything.

snap: Doesn't W say irregardless a lot...and other nonexistant words? :)

As in the President? Probably, but he's known to be a lousy public speaker and says dumb stuff all the time. i wouldn't exactly look to him for grammatical guidance.
