During Spring of 1993 the Far Eastern development studio Micro Cabin brought their impressive home-computer adventure Xak: The Art of Visual Stage to the Super Famicom. Arriving as a polished update to the PC-8801 and PC-9801 original, this 16-bit port wasn’t the first time the game had been given the remake treatment after outings on the Sharp X68000, PC Engine and MSX2. Despite its many re-imaginings, it’s only as of recent that the game has been localised into English through unofficial fan translation efforts.
