Hi, I was wondering if anyone had translated versions of the sample games that came with the original Japanese RM2k. I can't find any online and the translators I've tried using either cost money or churn out Engrish.

The only maker with a translated game was for XP called KNight - Blade, or somethng like that. As far as I know, none of the other "official games" were ever translated. However, Don Miguel did have a sample game made for the 2k/2k3 called Don's Adventures, or something of the sort. He's the guy behind the translation of the RM2K/2K3 editor.

I know about all that, I was just wondering if anyone had translated these.

I don't think there is any translation for those games. There aren't many people able to competently translate japanese RM games and they tend to choose carefully. It's also a rather long process.
