  Someone earlier asked about a good war game, especially a good Japanese
war game.  While my experience with war games is rather limited, I have
been very impressed and pleased with Lords of the Rising Sun.  Basically
you are the head of one of three ruling clans in Japan.  Your goal is
to defeat/ ally with everyone, thereby ruling all Japan.
  The graphics are superb, and the sound effects are realistic (of course).
You have several options as to how involved you want to get.  You can
manually control a given battle, or let your subordinates do the fighting
for you.  Your character is very much an integral part of the game.  If
you are not careful, you may be killed in battle, not unlike Taro in the
movie RAN.

  Another fun war game, though not Japanese, is Empire.  It is very addicting
and has been discussed extensively a few weeks ago.
