History
Japanese essayist Jun Miura coined the term kuso-gē (クソゲー?, lit. "crap game") after playing the Famicom version of Ikki. Regardless, the game still sold reasonably well, and was one of Sunsoft's most popular products at the time. The opening animation was not included and the number of levels was decreased to half the original number in the Famicom version. The total game memory of the Famicom version is 24 kilobytes, which can compare with Super Mario Bros at 40 kb.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.”
—Ben C. Bradlee (b. 1921)
