I would like to know if anyone can give me further information about the
product I mention below. If so, please e-mail, as I do not read this
group with any regularity. Thanks...
The review of the Usagi Yojimbo game I mentioned was in the September/October
issue of Commodore Disk User (#2.50 in Britain).
Here are the details...
Title: Samurai Warrior
Publisher: Firebird Software
64-67 New Oxford Street
London WC1A 1PS
Tel: 01-379 6755
For: Commodore 64 (at least -- they don't mention others, but Firebird [who
also did "The Pawn," produces for other companies as well).
The review says that it is pretty good, although the music is very repetitive.
It is a standard multi-level left-to-right hack and slash [as exemplified by
Karateka]. At the end of the first level, you evidently get to fight Ged the
Rhino. There is also a spiritual side to it, having to balance fighting,
bravery, good deeds, and the like (or you commit hari-kiri -- that's what it
says, I prefer seppuku).
There is also a mini-review of the comic, praising it.
