The Dreamcast version of Rent-A-Hero No. 1 has finally received a full English translation patch thanks to the wonderful work of VincentNL and their team. This action RPG is a remake of the 1991 Mega Drive game Rent-A-Hero and features a humorous send-up of SEGA themselves, with the game putting you in control of a “hero for hire” who must perform various heroic tasks and odd jobs around the city.

A partially translated version of the unreleased Western Xbox version was leaked in 2008 and has been the only way to play any version of the game in English until now.
