Hey fellas,
I'm putting this out there for those who own or have any interest in that ever-so-curious incarnation of our favorite sword slashing series. I'm talking of course about...
Samurai Spirits Bushido Retsuden
Well, this is the kind of game that people want to play but have difficulty getting into considering the difficulty of playing an RPG with practically zero English and limited documentation available online. From time to time a thread pops up for various folks to discuss and pose various questions about this game. One of the more interesting ones of late was THIS ONE, where a bunch of us mentioned a particular website from years past that was considerably useful but, alas, has been gone for a while now.
Ok, long-windedness aside, I happened to mention in the above-linked thread that I had printed out some of the info from that site a while back. In doing some spring cleaning, I have found some of the pages and managed to get them scanned into a .pdf file. The resolution may not be all that great, but the info is legible and it may prove useful as a simple "How to Play" manual, with details about the menu screens, status bars, and some items.
I know this may not be anything earth-shattering for those who've already gotten well acquainted with the game, but on the off chance that anyone might be interested in this info I'd be willing to email it out (and if anyone has some l33t Adobe skillz and wants to touch this up and improve its presentation that'd be awesome too).
So I leave this thread for folks to post and let me know one way or the other. I'll try to keep checking back every couple days or so.
(I really gotta learn to to explain myself in shorter posts...)
