This is a walkthrough for Shogun, a Graphic Interactive Fiction title
written by Dave Lebling and James Clavell, and published by Infocom.
Like the game, this walkthrough is divided into 18 separate scenes,
with each and every command needed to get through the scene listed.
In the one or two cases where the game produces random results, this
is noted. Commands preceded by a "*" increase the player's score by
5 points. When a command produces a graphic image, this is noted in
a column on the right.

[NOTE: This scene has a random element. Either you or Vinck
may draw the short straw when deciding who is to be killed. This
walkthrough assumes that Vinck draws the short straw. If you
draw the short straw, simply replace commands 6 & 7 (STOP VINCK),
with the single command WAIT. Then take up the transcript again,
beginning with the command ATTACK SAMURAI.]
