X1 game spotlight – Mother’s Day edition. Actually nothing to do with mothers or the holiday. Tonight we have Bokosuka Wars. Keep your king alive while advancing into enemy territory. You have an army of knights and peasants to sacrifice, I mean, assist you in your quest. It adds some challenge because of the way the characters move, which characters can cut through which obstacles, trying to surround your king by your army so you don’t risk dying, etc.

Apparently this game is unpopular on the NES? I get the allure of this. It's light on strategic, heavier on action, but not very fast paced so you can coordinate some fun battle.

Update: Much time later, I came across the original game. The box was dirty but cleaned up really nicely, and the artwork is cool!
