'''''Ganryu (Musashi Ganryuki)''''', (武蔵厳流記), known outside Japan as "Ganryu", is a [[hack and slash]] videogame developed by [[Visco Corporation]] and published by [[SNK]] in 1999 on [[Neo Geo MVS]]<ref>http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/masterlist.htm</ref>. It is loosely based on [[Miyamoto Musashi]]'s fight with [[Sasaki Kojirō]]. |
|||
==Origin== |
|||
On April 14, 1612, [[Musashi Miyamoto]] defeated the famous [[Sasaki Kojirō]] using a simple wooden sword which he carved from a boat oar on the way to the duel. Musashi had an opportunity to see Kojiro's sword sometime before the duel and knew of its great length. Musashi carved the wooden sword to be of greater length. When Musashi arrived on the beach for the duel, he kept the wooden sword hidden behind him until the duel began. He jumped over a low strike of Kojiro, reaching about a meter off the ground and came down on Kojiro's head with his heavy wooden sword. Kojiro lay dying on the sand and Musashi left in a hurry without killing him. Some of Musashi's critics call him a coward for not killing him, but Musashi had proved his point as the killing of Kojiro was not the goal - defeating him was. |
|||
==Plot== |
|||
The storyline of Musashi Ganryuki is that Kojiro has come back from the dead to try and kill Musashi. |
|||
==Gameplay== |
|||
The game's selectable characters are swordsman Ganryu and his female counterpart Suzume. The mission of the game is to rescue Ganryu's girlfriend from an evil ninja. Players are armed with a sword and a grappling claw. |
