[edit] Other Game Series
I know that Koei made PTO and PTO 2, and the intro to the game refers to it as part of its "World War" series.
[edit] This Article is Totally Misguided
Kou Shibusawa and Eiji Fukuzawa DO NOT EXIST and never have.
The founders of Koei are Yoichi and Keiko Erikawa. Yoichi was a student at Keio University, and after his family's rural dyestuffs business failed he decided to find another line of work. The company to this day is located in Hiyoshi, along with Keio University, and the campany's name is simply a spoonerism of the school's.
- I wouldn't doubt it, but could you please post an article to back this up?Alcy 06:55, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20051107/kumar_01.shtml "Kou Shibusawa: I've been in the industry for 25 years. The company was started in 1978 as a chemical wholesale company. My wife gave me a computer, and developing game software became a hobby of mine. A game which I developed was so interesting that we decided to sell it. However, Nobunga's Ambition in 1983 was our first big hit."

If no one is going to correct his article, I'll do it...
[edit] Chronography
Anyone knowledgeable enought to provide a chronology over Koei's released games? Mikademus 23:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
