OK. I'm going to type in the text from the back of a game box. Guess what game it's from!

(anyone else, feel free to add to the challenge with your own transcribed text)

Here goes:

"You're a helicopter gunship pilot on a daring and dangerous mission: air surveillance of enemy territory. Success depends on how far you can penetrate enemy airspace. Can you handle the pressure? Because the further you go, the more difficult the mission becomes."

(there's more, I'll divulge it if no one guesses this bit)

My first guess would be Jungle Strike. Either that or Tiger Heli.

Not yet.

More clue:

"Show that you've got what it takes by maneuvering your chopper around craggy mountain peaks, through deep dark tunnels, over tall city buildings. All while you face enemy tanks and missiles and weird sky-flying weapons. But you can fight back with high-flying, quick-thinking, fast-reaction moves. Good luck and good flying."

If it's Thunder Blade, it's not the SMS version.... my gut says Cobra Command.

Super Cobra?

CHA-CHING, furor. Nice job.

OK, someone else wanna take over? Type in something from the back of a game, try not to pick one that's TOO obscure - as you can see here, even fairly popular titles have generic descirptions that can apply to many.

If there is only one SoF back label text, then it's not SoF.

Montezuma's Revenge? Tutanhkum?

"Strap yourself into a fighter pilot's dream machine. Your jet is fully loaded: radar, thrust bar, altimeter -- the works. Just getting off the carrier is a challenge, and landing is even tougher. One mistake and say goodbye to millions of dollars of high-tech fighter plane."

Excert from the box of mystery game:

"Add fun stamps to your drawing and direct the animation selection to make it come alive."

From the back of the box:

"Don't you love the hot odor of burnt gunpowder from a six shooter tickling your nostril hairs? Then strap on your holster and join the posse of sharpshooters who've already ridden the riches in __BLANK__, now for your Sega Genesis. Complete with the kind of non-stop action and knee slapping yuks as in the arcade version."

Give it your best guess guys.
