Interesting tidbits:
The Commodore 64 version looks much nicer and has sound effects.
I've heard tale that Shogun supposedly has some slight relationship to James Clavell's Shogun novel, as there is a playable character named Blackthorne, who I believe is the main character of the novel.
Certain characters are easier to win with than others. Lords and ladies start the game with followers and good recruiting skill, but stink at combat. Samurai are good fighters with decent recruiting skills. Bandits are despised by most and are harder to play. Peasants are generally only valuable as followers.
Or so methinks. I've played it a bit and this seems to be true. I read the manual once a long time ago. Can't be 100% certain.
So how do you become Shogun? I know that gathering followers and eliminating the competition are part of it, even so I can't figure out how to become Shogun.
Anyway, play the C64 version! Awesome!
