This FAQ uses Shift-JIS encoding to display Japanese kana (characters).
Browsers such as Mozilla Firefox (www.mozilla.org/products/firefox) support
CJK encoding inherently, but common browsers such as MS Internet Explorer
require you to update your system (windowsupdate.microsoft.com). Otherwise,
I recommend you download a Japanese-English word processor called JWPce.

Welcome to AstroBlue's Gun Hazard Translation Guide. It was a real pity this
game never had a western release, because it's one damn fine Mech Shooter.
But don't fret, here are some translations that should help you understand
this game better.

Anita (アニタ) and Klark (クラーク). Of course they have to have joined
Albert's cause during the story in order for them to be selectable.
You equip Vanzer onto them like you do onto Albert.
Note that with Blenda as a "Friend" she will not appear on-screen, instead
she will hover above in her Tadpole Vanzer. To make her attack, open the
Command Menu whilst an enemy is on-screen, then select CMD and then
Blenda Cover Fire (ブレンダ支援砲撃), you will see her crosshair float about
the screen targeting and bombing the enemy.

The Gun Hazard Instruction Booklet, thank god for Japanese Instruction Manuals
laden with furigana.

great reference book for translating Japanese into English. And it uses Kana
Script, not Romaji (which is the devil).
