Great then and now
This is one of those gems that come out from time to time. And, like other gems, it hasn't really been remade in any meaningful way by any other game - not really. I had a blast playing it in the early 90's and still play it today, from time to time. It's fun, engaging and quite immersive. Is it as deep as some of the modern RPGs or Strategy games we have nowadays? No. But it will give you countless hours of fun and immersion. What kind of Samurai do you want to be? Honorable, states-like and distant? Or perhaps a cutthroat nasty, ready to murder every other lord, and even perhaps your own? Do you want to remain as a loyal retainer, or do you want to climb the power ladder? Do you perhaps want absolute power at all costs, or would you rather build your empire slowly, making sure your empire lasts through the ages? It's a funny thing that everyone mentions Sid Meier, when the only actually flaw of the game (at the time, but still remains) is the dueling system, which he created. Don't read the next couple of lines if you don't want any spoilers: ... You can abuse the dueling system by always slashing sideways (right-left, right-left, and so on). If you do that, you will never have to defend and you will always win each and every duel. Try it. This is the only really down side of the game, but it's so minor that it doesn't really matter in the bigger picture. Most of your playing time will be spent managing your fiefs, sipping tea with allies, fighting in close quarters Vs many enemies (not in duels), and engaging in field battles with your enemies. Duelling is a very small part of the whole experience. If you go and try this game with the current 'hold-my-hand-and-spoon-feed-me-everything' mindset, you will feel lost and angry (oh, and sidenote, for the time, this was one of the easy games to get into - not hard or tricky at all). But if you don't care too much about graphics or the UI, you will see this game for what it is: a True Gem. Enjoy!
