I played this on a boat on my way to mainland China once when I was a kid. Could say that I was kinda shocked at the gore first time I played this in 1991! Especially the fatality to the first boss and the intro of a monk doing seppuku. Could never managed to beat the twins on the second level.
Awesome, this arcade was in the arcade machines in my town and it was the goriest thing I have ever seen (I was 10 in 1988). 18 years later finally I found it's name (I was beginning to think that I just dreamt about this game). Unless other games that haven't aged very well from my rememberings (street fighter 1, Tokyo Scramble Formation) this one actually has one of the better graphics for 1987.
This game was awesome as a kid.

@hanchiman I literally spent decades trying to prove to my friends that this game existed and that we played it as kids in 1988.

And I tried to prove myself that this game actually existed and that it wasn't a "hallucination" or something XD.
Anyways this game is still hard to play even on the M.A.M.E emulator!

Finally I found it! I knew this game with the name of "Best Samurai". I played it at the Torre Grande Arcade, Oristano, Italy on late '80s

I agree with tonihott, I was bewildered with this game at my childhood, I did it at the age of 12 (arcade)
