NAME: Shogi no Hoshi AUTHOR/VENDOR: Home Data RELEASED: 1991 TYPE: Tile game LANGUAGE: Japanese PREMISE: A juvenile-oriented shogi videogame. For those who are not familiar with the game, shogi is the Oriental version of chess and plays very much the same, except that captured pieced can be "recruited" into your ranks and put pack into play anywhere on the board. IMPRESSIONS: The graphics and animation are hideous, especially by the high Japanese anime standards that we've come to expect, and what story exists is one of the stupidest I've ever seen in a computer game. This makes Cosmic Spacehead look like Phantasy Star. Avoid. VARIATIONS: Henrik Sankala says that this can be translated as Star of Shogi, which appears to fit the context of the game's premise. Commonly known on the boards as Shougino.
