Game Description:
The Adventures of Bayou Billy is one of the most notorious NES games for being almost impossible to beat. As such the game can be considered broken and/or not enjoyable. What’s more interesting is that the Japanese version of the game, Mad City, is much much easier and such can be considered a balanced and fun game to play. Why Konami? Why?
Anyhow, the game is a blatant rip-off of Crocodile Dundee and a combination of many different sub-genres of action games. You’ve got your standard Final Fight like beat ‘em up, your action driving game and a light gun SHMUP. It’s got a lot of variety.
Translation Description:
This is complete translation patch for Mad City, the Japanese version of Bayou Billy. The game is much easier and features more content than its American counterpart. It’s near perfect, so enjoy.
For the American version, the Quiz mode and 3 more endings were removed. With this patch, you’ll be able to experience the full game.

This Game Is Actually Beatable
Reviewed By: Eldrethor on 31 Aug 2021Back in the day, developers loved making their games extra hard for the US market to either artificially extend playtime, or encourage people to buy the game instead of paying for a one-night rental from the video store. Bayou Billy is one such game, and I’ve never beaten it to this day.
This translation of Mad City is the perfect solution to that problem. The English is fluid and natural, the font looks nice and crisp, and everything is clean and legible. It’s such a superb job that it can easily pass for an official stateside release from Konami.
There’s not much more that can be said about this hack. If you’ve had Bayou Billy sitting on your shelf unbeaten, taunting you with its absurd difficulty, go for this hack and finish what you started. Highly recommended.
