Good news: an old prototype of
Bushido Warrior, due to release in 1988 has been found back :)
Bad news: it's an horrible Spectrum port >:(

Oh nice! Still, it's got a certain charm to it.
Glad to also see HotL in the video, I was so impressed by it back in the day...
Unfortunately the graphics seem to have been ported from Spectrum, perhaps in mode 0, the game would have been very cool.
I still would have quite liked this I bet (and I quite like Spectrum pixel art anyway TBH), although the colour choices are horrible for the CPC and would have been very hard to see on a green monitor.
