In Sword of the Samurai, you will be part of the culture of feudal Japan, and you must learn to live by its rules. To succeed as a samurai, you must think like a samurai. You must learn when to leave your sword in its sheath, when to draw it - and what to do with it once its drawn. You will fight duels, lead troops on the battlefield, and defend your family against assassins and kidnappers. If you are courageous and honorable, you may advance to become head of your clan and warlord of your province. If you master diplomacy and generalship and outmaneuver your rivals, you may even unite all the provinces and become Shogun -absolute ruler of Japan. But remember that in all cultures power corrupts - and those who seek absolute power dont always play by the rules.

Who is Leisure Suit Larry? If you look up the word "nerd" in the dictionary, you're liable to find Leisure Suit Larry's picture as a definition. Leisure Suit Larry is the kind of guy you see in just about every seedy singles bar. He wears a white leisure suit with the shirt open to the waist (lots of gold chains make up for the lack of a chest). If you can get past the glow of his Grecian formula, you can see that his hairline is making a hasty retreat from his forehead. Larry is the original blind date nightmare - the kind of guy you wouldn't want your daughter to date, let alone meet. He is such a loser that Cosmo Magazine recently voted him "most negligible bachelor of the year." A Time Magazine article on "The War Between the Sexes" carried his picture with the caption "an unarmed innocent bystander." Why is Larry suddenly so popular with the ladies? On cruise ships, in laid back Los Angeles, and in other exotic locations, Larry is suddenly attracting the attention of all kinds of nubile nymphettes. He's been propositioned by a bikini'd babe at the poop-deck pool, suffered the seductions of a sadomasochistic spinster, even played "hide the onklunk" with a sexy spanish senorita. Why is it that Larry has suddenly started looking only for Miss "Right" (as opposed to Miss "Right-Now") and will he find her? Find out why when you play...
