I just bought this yesterday from Zodiac. I paid 7.74 euros, which is around 10.24 dollars. This site is somewhat like Steam, in that you have to download their zodiac application. But, I applied Tol's patch to it and I am playing it now and having fun with it. the subtitles are in Italian, but the voice is in English.

mbday630,

If you wade through the thread on TOH, you'll find a link to a patch that will change those subtitles to English.

Gil.

ah, I will have to wade through that then. Thanks for the heads up.

Could you send me the url for that site please?

Here is the link that I got it from:

http://www.zodiac-store.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=219

I had to download their application? or whatever it is, that is similar to Steam. Then I could download the game. Also, remember to download the English patch from Tol before you start the game. I think that is what I did wrong, I started the game and then did the patch... and I have English voices, but the subtitles are in Italian. However, that still works for me, as long as I know what he is saying. Just to be on the safe side (and I really don't know what I am doing) I installed the patch in different parts of Zodiac too, not knowing exactly where it went. Anyway, it is a fun game, not too expensive, so I hope this helps!

Hm, the link I got it from - http://multiplayer.com/videogiochi/pc-windows/tale-of-a-hero-il-destino-di-un-eroe.html - doesn't appear to work any more.

Although when I type in Tale of a Hero in the search box, it does come up - http://multiplayer.com/catalog/advanced_...amp;dasuggest=. I suppose the first version is the disk version, and the second is the download? Can anyone here translate? (I wouldn't mind ordering the disk version myself at some point. )

In any case, you may have some luck getting it there. The patch worked perfectly for me with the download version.

venus,

If you go back in the thread for TOH, I believe Carla translates almost everything for you to make it easier to figure out how to get through the download order. Anyway, since I don't read Italian (high school Latin doesn't help, believe me), it must have been fairly obvious that you could get it on disk as a backup. If it helps any, the boxed copy was 8.29 euros.

Gil.

Thank you so much. I've been wanting to play this game for so long and had forgotten about it until I saw that it was on my wanted list at GTZ and still not available. That awakened the wanting in me.

Anyway I am now downloading it as I type this and I even used paypal as well. I had already bought Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle from them so I was already registered.

Anyway thanks again for the link and thanks to all who chipped in with info.

oldman,

Just a heads up. I don't know that it's necessary for you, but I would not install TOH in the default folder. I just remembered a weird glitch in the game made it impossible for me to continue and I only fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling the game somewhere else, probably My Documents since that's my usual alternative place.

Gil.

I looked all over for a english patch but couldn't find one. Could somebody point me in the right direction.

Hi all,

sorry for the late reply. I´ve found our game on this Italian store so far:
http://www.adventuregameshop.com/product_info.php?products_id=940

Our patch changing texts to English (there are English voiceovers in all but Russian, Czech and German versions already)is here:
http://peregrius.cz/toh/toh_en_patch.zip

If you are playing on Windows 7 system, please don´t install game in the Program Files, use some other folder like C:\games to avoid possible problems leading up to unfinishable game.

Hope this helps.

Hi tol,

Thanks for the info. Hope you're doing well.

Hey, tol!

Good luck with your 'secret' HO adventure game!

Gil.

thanks tol. The patch didn't work how do I use it. Where do I unzip it to.

I have the same problem Richard. I have the Italian version. The voices are in english but everything else is still in Italian. I applied the patch in the zodiac file (that's the place where I bought the game)it asked if I want to overwrite the other files. I say yes and it doe's,but everything is still in italian.
