Samurai Warrior: The Battles of Usagi Yojimbo

Samurai Warrior: The Battles of Usagi Yojimbo is a computer game released for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC platforms in 1988, by the now-defunct label Firebird. It is based on the comic book Usagi Yojimbo, which featured the adventures of an anthropomorphic samurai rabbit. The game closely follows some of the themes of the comic. The package artwork comes from the cover of the comic book Anything Goes #6.

The game was released in the United States under the title Usagi Yojimbo as part of the Thunder Mountain Action Pack, Vol. 1. It was contained on Disk 1, Side 1 along with the games Great Escape, Paradroid, and (on Side 2) Implosion. The packaging for this version used artwork from the cover of Usagi Yojimbo Volume 1, # 17 along with images from the other games included in the set.

The game was designed and programmed by Doug Palmer, Paul Kidd and Russel Comte. Neil Brennan wrote the music.

Gameplay

The game is a sideways-scrolling adventure, where Miyamoto Usagi has to defeat opponents in sword fights, and also have encounters with other characters (also anthropomorphic animals), for example priests, who usually carry a cane and utter Zen Buddhist koans, such as "if you see the Buddha on the path, kill him". Usagi is often attacked by bandits and enemy ninja. These opponents frequently disguise themselves as harmless peasants, villagers or priests.

Samurai Warrior

From the land of rising sun
Hear the cry of the newbornchild
He was born to fight
That's his destiny
Learn how to kill as a killer elite
Play with fire with his first katana
In the battlefield
That's his playground

SAMURAI WARRIOR
In the name of shogun's mission
Hear the call of samurai's blood
It's time to attack
Wear your yoroi
Through the fire of hinawaju
Run straight ahead to the enemy's head
It's time to die
Say your prayer
SAMURAI WARRIOR - You fight
SAMURAI WARRIOR - You kill
SAMURAI WARRIOR - You die
