Play Shodan Morita Shougi (Japan) Online
You stare down a grid of deceptively similar pieces, slowly learning how each one moves—then the AI crushes you until you start stealing its pieces and dropping them back on the board for payback.
Game Overview
Shodan Morita Shougi is one of those SNES games that slipped under the radar—unless you were really into shogi, Japan’s answer to chess. No explosions, no power-ups, just you and a grid of pieces that look suspiciously similar until you learn their moves. The AI doesn’t mess around, either. I lost my first five matches before realizing I should probably stop treating it like regular chess.
What makes shogi wild is that captured pieces aren’t just gone—they’re yours to drop back onto the board later, like some kind of tactical revenge. The SNES controls handle it surprisingly well, with clean menus and just enough feedback to make each move feel deliberate. It’s not fancy, but there’s a quiet satisfaction in outmaneuvering the computer after it steamrolled you three games in a row. If you’ve got patience and a soft spot for 16-bit strategy, this one’s a solid time capsule.
