Lords of the Rising Sun
A Warring States period NES.
The year is 1560. Almost one hundred years ago, the Onin War swept through Japan, caused by severe shogunal succession disputes. This conflict turned many lords against each other. Now, a century later, countless daimyo, or feudal lords, are competing for land and prestige. Even though the Onin War ended long ago, the fighting throughout Japan continues and daimyo feud in the pursuit of power. The Ashikaga shogunate still exists, but only in name. Thriving local economies, developing wealth, natural disasters, a simple desire to rule one's own clan, or any or all of the above have led many daimyo to seek other ways to rule that do not involve the Ashikaga. Meanwhile, other daimyo are fierce Ashikaga retainers, or control the shogun as a puppet. And then there are those clans which are divided and on the brink of inter-family war. It is up to you, daimyo of your land, to be the Great Unifier.
