In my mighty undertaking to create new covers for my Famicom collection (see Famicom Cover Project thread of yore) I need to recreate many game descriptions on the back of the box. For a lot of games (such as Super Mario Bros. or Akumajou Dracula this is a fairly simple task as there is an abundance of English-source material for the games. What I need is a little help with the less publishized games.

If any of you are willing to write, I'm looking for some custom box discriptions. Nothing too long, just maybe a paragraph or so about the game's story and another about features, game play mechanices etc whatever is relivent.

Something like
Super Mario Bros.

The princess of the mushroom kingdom is kidnapped by the evil king koopa and its up to an italian plumber from newyork to save the day for some reason.

best selling game of all time, blah blah blah This game is the shit. thats all you need to know. etc.

anyway this is the list of games I need discriptons of:


Challenger
Dragon Buster II
Family Composer
Famicom Jump 1
Flippul
Great Battle Cyber
Gargoyle's Quest II
Gegege no Kitarou
Getsufuu Maden
Son son
Spelunker
Super Momotaro Electric Railway
Takahashi Meijin no Bug Honii
Youkai Douchuuki
Warukyuure no Bouken
Tetsuwan Atomu

I hope you guys help.

EDIT: I've shortened the list as I've sorta stumbled my way through some of them.

if you have the scans of the boxes the easiest thing to do would be to post the japanese and let me or manuel translate it, rather than writing whole new descriptions

Unfortuntely I don't have the boxes of any of the games on my list. The ones I do I've already written stuff up for. What I'm hoping is someone can explain the storylines a tad and make it witty or cleaver, like the boxes back then were like (something like the really cheesy Megaman boxes that refer to "tons of mechanized maniacs and android annihilators" you know that sort of bad 80s writing thing.

I realize for some of these it'll be tough. I mean how can Devil World have a storyline? I'd be curious as to what was written about that one for instance.
