Okay folks, this thread is dedicated to the use of Engrish in Knights in the Nightmare.
Let's start with the promo video, found on the KitN website: "One night, the denizens of the abyss, led by Zovornak, emerged out of nowhere and slayed all the kings men..." Pretty much the only thing I found in the whole thing is "slayed all the kings men" which sounds like engrish to me. Killed all the king's men? Massacred the king's men? Certain dialog boxes: Touch the box. (Groan) Sometimes: Touch either box. Other dialog box: Go Next. (argh) One word: KILL [A knight joins you]: Join In! (?) [Before battle]Get ready! Engage! [Get an item in battle]Item gotten! Warrior: [Activate]The warrior: Activated! On turn result screen: KILL OUT! On scene result screen: Drive Tech (?) One enemy slots screen: Touch the box to be defeated enemy |

I am NOT being argumentative. You brought up Wikipedia as an authority to support your view, and challenged us to change Wikipedia if we disagreed with you. I simply pointed out that the Wikipedia definition you cited does not agree with you, yet you STILL think that I only challenge the definition you cited rather than the interpretation you made.
