I wonder how many will support this just to "pay back" for enjoying their pirated Amiga/C64 copy of the game so much in their childhood?
Very good point :) Btw here're some facts for the original game and pirating it.
I think First Samurai was one of the most pirated Amiga game ever. Just after the game published Robert Maxwell passed away and the publisher Mirrorsoft changed hands. Because of this the game was not really available in the stores, despite the fact that it was the game of the year. So basically it got pirated quite a lot because that was the only way getting the game :)
I have very fond memories of First Samurai, hope this campaign will succeed :)
the main character is supposed to be japanese, or not?
