Warning! This is for game-nerds like meself

10 years ago a real time strategy game, (a.k.a "RTS"), called "Shogun Total War" was released. It enabled the player to control a samurai warlord in his/her quest to become the ultimate ruler of Japan in the feudal era. In this case 1530-1615.
On an interesting side-note: One, if not the primary, Japanese history advisor to the Shogun Total War game was renowned historian Dr. Stephen Turnbull.

So now after 10 years the same game company is developing the sequel to the above game: Shogun Total War 2.

Aye!

Although not directly responsible for getting me into (Japanese) martial arts, the first Shogun Total War game got me interested in Samurai history.
