I really love Samurai Warrior: The Battles of Usagi Yojimbo on the C64

Or, let’s say, I like the idea of playing Usagi Yojimbo. Because that game is frickin’ hard. I could usually defeat the first few ninjas but I never got close to the end of the game.

It has a nice honour system. You can’t just run around with your sword drawn. You have to be polite and bow to other people. Killing innocents reduces your honour. And when it’s depleted you kill yourself.

I was really amazed when the character Usagi Yojimbo appeared in an episode of the Ninja Turtles. In my mind he only existed in that game. A modern version could be nice.
