ad lists a July 30, 1999 release date I think Western gamers have no idea how hard it was to be a PC gamer in Japan. Virtually no domestically made games were released on PCs, and many of the Western games which were imported weren't localized, so players had to muddle through as best they could in a language they had little understanding of. This ad makes prominent mention of the fact that it includes a Japanese-language manual - a luxury that many PC games released in Japan didn't provide.
