Revolutionary Fighting Game

Bushido Blade had a fresh idea for the fighting game genre that was beginning to get stale. It employed the laws of Bushido into the game. "BUSHI" is Japanese for warrior and is often interchangeable with the word "SAMURAI." "DO" means way. Hence, "BUSHIDO" means way of the warrior. This meant that attacking your opponent while his/her back was turned would result in a loss for you.

The style of game play also was very different from the norm. If you cut someone's arm with your weapon, that arm could no longer be used, and so forth. This game changed the way fighting games were looked at and is a very large part of what many fighting games draw on today.
