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:
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
