Perhaps we should lobby Firaxis to remake it (if they can get the rights to do so).

This game could profit from modern technology. Still, I don't have faith in the contemporary gaming industry's not screwing up a classic instead of making a decent remake.

Hi again everyone.. Ok, for the guys who are dying to try this game out but have not been able to get it working.. you need to install a program called DosBox, go to the following url:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dosbox/...er.exe?download

Download and install, mount C drive and run Samurai.com..
Next ENJOY !!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I tried to get it working forever but couldn't. I was using d-fend with dos-box because dos-box confused the heck out of me. I created a profile under d-fend named sword of the samurai and then for the .exe file i used the samurai.com file and for the setup.exe file i used install.bat. I then accepted all the defaults and ran the profile. It worked like a charm.

Does anyone know where I can get another game like this? Like another samurai simulation game.Thanks!

Shogun Total War is some kind of modern game about feudal japan but is only strategy(battling strategy and planing strategy) and it is for sale.

FYI: If you have already downloaded I doubt you look at the main page any more, but you should know there is now a pdf of the original manual and a FAQ there which should help you a lot if you have questions. Also the manual is of normal 1990's Microprose quality, ie BRILLIANT!!

Enter is the strike key while you are fighting - You do a combination of the arrow key and the enter key to strike. When you are on the battlefield select your army by pressing the appropriate number - then press the arrow key to direct them to the desired location and then press the + key.

There's also Backspace while dueling to parry, and * or - instead of + in battles: one of them turned the platoon whithout moving it and the other moved it without turning --slower.

I totally agree that this one is top QUALITY remake material.

well, why not start a fan remake? The game is not too complex to remake if you find the right people...

whoops, forgot that one could post without logging in. As I said, a fan-remake would be possible as well. If anyone has the courage to start it, I would gladly assist.
