About a month ago, I was at a Cici's Pizza, so I decided to check out their tiny little arcade. Most of the games in there were meh (a Fast & Furious racing game, some kiddie games and a couple of Area 51-ish light gun games), but they had one game that looked really good, so I tried it. I liked it, and vowed to remember what it was so I could look up more info on it when I got home.

Damn my short term memory. The name is completely eluding me. Here's what I can tell you about it:

1. It's a game similar to Wild Guns/Nam 1975/Cabal, but with a feudal Japanese theme.
2. You can select from either a male or female character.
3. It's fairly recent. I believe the copyright date was 2002 or so.
4. I believe it was created by Mitchell Corp., but I've checked KLOV for it and they don't have a listing for the game under Mitchell. So I could be wrong about that.

Any ideas?

Nope. Turns out the game is called Gamshara (http://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=detail&id=4417), and it uses Namco System 10 hardware.

I recommend playing it if you stumble across it (I don't believe it's been emulated yet). It's fun.
