The game has various different backdrops, including space.
The character of Michael comes from the Japanese serial manga strip "What's Michael", created by Makoto Kobayashi which might be considered analogous to Garfield, due to them both being orange cats.
It varies between observing goofy pet behavior to more abstract tales of fantasy with anthropomorphized versions of the animal characters.
About Famicom Disk System
Japan-only, the Famicom Disk System (1986) was Nintendo's floppy-disk-based add-on for the Famicom, hosting several games (including the original Legend of Zelda and Metroid) before they were later ported to cartridge internationally. Because it never released outside Japan and its proprietary floppy disks degrade over time, complete, working Famicom Disk System software is a specialized import-collecting niche.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Michael English Daibouken, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Famicom Disk System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
