Restoring:

This is a translation of the JP Wikipedia page, but it's not a full translation. Rather it's only the sections which are sourced. The JP page had an issue with low citations, and they have fixed it by adding several from modern retrospective books (more like mooks, which are like magazine books). The game is supposedly notorious for being a legendarily bad game. On top of the JP page, I added a few other citations as well. HG101 is a wonky source at best since quality is all over the place, but Kurt's articles are considered RS.

In the deletion debate, it was suggested that Famitsu didn't review the game at the time of release, but this seems wrong. The JP page lists a Famitsu score and citation, and online blogs show scans from previews of the game from the magazine. I can't find screens of the actual Famitsu review myself, but another blog lists an index in Famitsu's June 3, 1988 catalog that lists overviews and reviews for all Famicom games released until then. That gives it 2/4 stars, perfectly lining up with the 19/40 score JP Wikipedia says it got. Harizotoh9 (talk) 18:32, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notability:

The game's notable in Japan for being one of the most needlessly difficult and poorly made games of all time. I"m shocked that reviewers at the time were so kind to it. The JP Wikipedia is mostly just going through the game's various faults. Supposedly it was made by a single coder in a short period of time. Hopefully this comes across in the English page as it stands. Harizotoh9 (talk) 01:18, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
