The PAL DC version of Bangai-o had some weird English in the blurb on the back of the box.

I always thought that was semi-intentional, given the in-game translation

I actually have the PAL version of Bangai-o sitting here right here next to me, so let's see what it says on the back of the box then...

Bangai-o, the galaxy's strongest fighting system is yours. Riki, the "self-proclaimed ultimate man of all men" and his "quiet but alert" sister Mami jointly defend the man star Vortex against the terrible influence of the SF cosmo bang.

...



I should really get around to fully playing this one day.

You should, its hilarious. A good game, too. I defy anyone to actually understand the plot of that game though

Bangai-o, the galaxy's strongest fighting system is yours. Riki, the "self-proclaimed ultimate man of all men" and his "quiet but alert" sister Mami jointly defend the man star Vortex against the terrible influence of the SF cosmo bang.

In addition to the above blurb, on the back of the box a few of the games features are listed:

- Action packed dynamic shooter
- 44 levels
- Mind and skills level, unique shoot'em up with tasks found for the first time ever in a game like this

I do reckon the blurb on the back of pal Bangaio is intentional, and not a case of bad translation.

Either way, its funnay as feck. The ultimate man of all men indeed

Hehe, apparently the in-game text is so weird because Treasure actually sent it to the US publisher like that and asked them to translate it properly, but they found it so funny they decided to keep it in.
