Samurai Asshole

Samurai Asshole is a 1999 Flash game by Tom Fulp. It was made in Flash 4, and it was his first major game after Pico's School.
==Story ==
Samurai Asshole's master was a guest of honor at a festival held by three religious leaders. When the master choked on a piece of chicken and died, he was obligated by tradition to avenge his master's death, despite the sorrow expressed by the leaders. Samurai Asshole fought a group of temple guards before being summoned into the clouds by a dragon. After defeating the dragon, he goes back onto Earth, where he fights more guards until stumbling upon a spaceship. As he flies away from earth, two aliens that resemble Cassandra's final form from Pico's School discuss their plans to invade Earth from their own spaceship. Samurai Asshole lands in a Smurf village, and after defeating two Smurf's, he shouts with surprise. The game ends on a cliffhanger.
==Gameplay==
Samurai Asshole was remarkable upon release for it's keyboard based controls. Players moved in four directions, and could also attack, jump, or block. Although the controls are slow and laggy by modern terms, it was still a big step up from games like Pico's School, which used only the mouse. In the 2006 re-release, Tom Fulp chose to keep the primitive controls in order to remain true to the original game.
