Lets face it. We all appreciate what the mods do for the site. When I was a mod, I did what I could but due to my limited capabilities, I couldn't keep up with the pace. The mods work hard to make this site better and more enjoyable. I have decided to try to help them out however I can. The most I can currently do is add game descriptions (which is what I mainly did anyway). So I will keep up with this thread and hopefully others will join in my cause. If you do want to help, look at some of the reviews I have done for the following games. Try to copy them and give as much detail as you can about the games. The mods can always just cut/copy/paste any information they see fit.

Werewolf the Last Warrior/ Choujinrou Senki Warwolf" -- Japanese Title
Publisher: Data East Corporation
Developed by: Data East Corporation
Released: November 1990
Genre: Action
Perspective: Platform/Side Scrolling
An evil leader and his gang of bio-engineered monsters has taken over the land and only one man stands in their way. Only he's not a man, he is a lycanthrope, a person able to transform into a terrible werewolf to let loose his anger.
You start the game in human form. The human can punch, jump, move and shoot a powered up shot which moves horizontally across the screen. By finding a Red "W" icon, the human is able to transform into a mighty werewolf creature. Accidentally grabbing a blue "W" icon or losing too much energy will change you back into a mere human being. The werewolf form offers higher jumps, quicker speed, greater strength, a shockwave attack and the ability to climb walls, so naturally you'll want this form whenever possible. Additionally the werewolf form has an anger meter that is augmented by collecting orbs. After 5 such orbs, the werewolf will transform yet again into a SUPER werewolf with even greater strength, speed and partial invincibility.
There are 5 stages in all. Each with a boss who moves in a distinct pattern

Release Date: 1984
Genre: Maze
The player assumes the role of the hero, Gilgamesh, whose goal is to rescure the maiden, Ki, from the demon Druaga. In order to do this, he must traverse through 60 floors of an immense tower. Each floor consists of a maze filled with monsters, and a randomly placed locked door leading to the next level. The player must navigate through the maze in order to find a randomly placed key that unlocks the door. In addition, each floor contains a hidden treasure, which appears once the player has performed a specific requirement. The player’s starting position is also randomly determined, and is where the hidden treasure always appears when revealed. The mazes themselves are not random. Some of the treasures contain merely helpful items, while some contain items essential to completing the game. Gilgamesh comes equipped with a sword, which he can use to defeat monsters, and a shield, which can be used to block magical attacks. The monsters get progressively more difficult as the game progresses, beginning with simple slimes and culminating to Druaga himself.

Make sure that when you type, that you use your big people words and don't type like a fool. This should make their jobs a little bit easier, and maybe it will give them some extra time to do other updates to the site. Good luck to everyone and hopefully we can get some good descriptions going.
