Level 12 - Shenmue (1999)

“The Experience Begins…” You said it, Shenmue. This month, Steve and Korwin take a trip back in time to (mostly) 1986 Japan and pound the pavement with Ryo Hazuki in an ongoing quest to find answers after the death of his father at the hands of the mysterious Lan Di. There's plenty of questions that need to be answered. Like, who is Lan Di? How much realism is too much realism in video games? And does anyone know where sailors like to hang out? Find out in this next level as Steve and Korwin take on Shenmue!
