Fun fact: the instructions for the Japanese Tom and Jerry were printed in two languages ​​at once

The Japanese versions of Tom and Jerry for the Super Famicom and Sega Mega Drive had a rather unusual feature - both games received full bilingual instructions.

In the Tom and Jerry manual for the Super Famicom, the first part is completely in Japanese, and the second part is in English.Moreover, we are not talking about a short memo, but about a full translation of the entire instruction: plot, controls, description of objects and levels.

The manual for Tom and Jerry: Frantic Antics for the Sega Mega Drive is designed in a similar way - the Japanese version of the game also includes an English-language part of the instructions.

Most likely, this decision is due to the American origin of the Tom and Jerry franchise itself.Japanese publishers decided to maintain a connection with the original not only through the cover and logos, but also through the language of the manual. #game
