Don's Adventures

Don's Adventures (sometimes titled Don Miguel's Sample Game) is a 2000 unfinished role-playing video game developed by Don Miguel, using an unofficially translated/unlicensed version of RPG Maker 2000, and was included in his original unlicensed distribution of that program. 
It is a first game made in an unlicensed or illegitimated version of RPG Maker 2000, despite its unfinished development and very short runtime to play.
== Premise ==
Don Miguel himself is the main character and he is joined on his journey by a dog, a cat, and other assorted RTP based characters.
== Gameplay ==
Players may choose to play in English or Russian at the beginning of the game.
== Development ==
In April 2000, Don Miguel bought a Japanese version of RPG Maker 2000 online in order to translate the whole program, using a spiffy de-japanizator tool, without permission, like the RPG Maker 95 did. All of the features and functions were translated, Miguel creates his first game made in that program as a "sample game", despite the game is wholly unfinished.https://rpgmaker2000.narod.ru/oldnews2.htm
== Reception ==
Reception of Don's Adventure drew small interest in the RPG Maker community, until it received a cult following in later years, with several members in the community, as well as gamers and YouTubers dared to play it whole and declared as a "legend".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F8LeCbnaFkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnTrXJ3mtyw
Despite his notorious reputation for RM2k's distribution legality, the game is intended to show off the features of RPG Maker 2000, and also as an example for users to make their own RPG Maker 2000 games.
Annoyed by users due to his own translations, some users referred as "Donglish", a poorly-made English translation despite his second language.
==Legacy==
Multiple unofficial remakes and sequels to the game were made. A remake of the game can be found on the Steam Workshop for RPG Maker VX Ace, under the name Don's Adventures Re-Vamped!, which features updated graphics and slight changes to the story.
