{{nihongo|'''Energy'''|エナジー}} is a sci-fi side-scrolling adventure game developed by [[NCS]] for the [[PC Engine]] and published in Japan by [[Masaya]] in [[1989]]. The goal is to save various people in a dilapidated city crawling with mutated monsters. Energy has aspects of open-world "Metroidvania" games. You will backtrack to various areas after new abilities are unlocked in order to make further progress where you were previously prevented from entering. | {{nihongo|'''Energy'''|エナジー}} is a sci-fi side-scrolling adventure game developed by [[NCS]] for the [[PC Engine]] and published in Japan by [[Masaya]] in [[1989]].

The game is based on a [[NEC PC-88]] game from [[Quasar Soft]] named [[Ashe]]. Besides the big improvements to graphical and audio quality, the games seem functionally identical. Energy was widely regarded by critics at the time as being one of the worst PC Engine games. The game is plagued with coding issues (such as very slow transitions between screens) and the requirements to proceed are often inscrutable. | The game is based on a [[NEC PC-88]] game from [[Quasar Soft]] named [[Ashe]].

The game was never released outside of Japan. However, an English fan translation has been developed and is available [http://www.romhacking.net/translations/2936/ here]. In addition to translating the game into English, the patch attempts to improve more aggravating aspects of the game, including sped up text rendering, sped up screen transitions, and the ability to skip the introduction after the first time it's played. | The game was never released outside of Japan.
