Famicom Shougi : Ryuuousen
Game Details
Description
Another variation on the theme of shogi - the Japanese analogue of chess with a LOT of squares, pieces and possibilities. The player is invited to take part in the Dragon King tournament (and if he loses, he will not even be thrown away, but will be offered a place in the audience), and those who are not yet able to do this can get their hands on single games or traditional problems like "checkmate in three moves." Unlike Famicom Meijin Sen, here the invisible hand with a piece moves freely around the entire field and in case of a wrong move returns it to its place. Otherwise, as in other similar simulators, the main factor of playability is NOT knowledge of the Japanese language, but sufficient knowledge of the rules of the original game.
