Live A Live is an odd sort of game. At base, it’s an RPG. What makes it different is it’s separated into chapters. One has the player controlling a cowboy, another a ninja, a third a martial arts master and his disciples and so forth. All the chapters are quite different. The ninja chapter, for instance, involves being a stealthy snake and assassinating rival figures without killing anyone else, or being a killing machine and cutting a swath through all the guards. The wrestler’s chapter plays almost like a fighting game, as he faces off against his opponents one-on-one until he is the champ. All the characters join up at the end for the final chapter.

Patches Live a Live to be played on PAL and NTSC systems. Pictured below is the scrambled error message that the translation by Aeon Genesis shows when trying to play the patched game on a PAL console. This patch will fix that. Furthermore, this patch should work on every other version of the game.
