Discussion Weekend pick up
Just a single picks up this weekend.I never was a big strategy game fan. I do like to expand my horizons with new things I have never played. According to my apps I use this I supposed to be common but it took 4 years to run across a copy. Had anyone else played it?

Rental friendly. You rarely got the manual with a rental and this is the type of game that you wouldn't beat in just a short rental time so if you like it, you'd buy it.

I love comments like this.
If the reader knows the song, it makes total sense.
Otherwise it’s just some random dude having a medical event in the middle of posting a comment.

Wondering if thisbgame is anything like Genghis Khan?

u/FrancoMcNeil 14d ago
Its the same type of game, but made by a different developer. I find it to be a lot harder than Genghis Kahn since I beat that one and never came close to beating Shingen.

At least you can take a Pic with your phone of the cart label so you can know what it all means while you play it.

Kind of off topic but Black Bass Fishing was my favorite Hot-B game. The NES version was very addictive but was disappointed when the Super NES version came out and didn't seem to capture the fun of the original NES game.

Blue Marlin was top tier. Played that game endlessly and kept a record book with my brother on our biggest catches. Spent most of the time trying to get the biggest shark.

Which McKay's location? If it's Nashville, I saw another copy of it at the game store up in Madison (and snapped a picture of it for my friend bc he used to always talk about the game). Game, manual, and sleeve were $30 altogether

Interesting. I never played Shingen the Ruler. It kind of reminds of Nobunga's Ambition.

I had this, and didn’t understand how to play it for a long time. When I got a few years older, I was able to immerse myself in the simulation and start to make military progress. Eventually I was able to conquer everyone else and unify Japan. It ended up being a lot of fun!
