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. *********************** Jim Drew (aka Crd.
