Has anyone actually seen these? How good are they? P.S. Is there a Macintosh version of Nobunaga's Ambition? -- E n r i q u e C o n t y The Amazing Man-With-No-Life jester@ihlpl.att.com

I've seen the game on my friend's Mac. It is in black and white and the characters are quite well drawn. It is sort of an asian version of risk. It is quite involved and the object of the game is to recruit the heros/bandits in different districts in china and fight the bandit king threatening to take over china. -Steve
