You don't know how much this means to me! Thank you so much!
Which Tenchu game did you play? I like Tenchu 1 but absolutely LOVE Tenchu 2
I went through the series (aside from Tenchu Z cause I don't own a console for that one), since I do that occasionally, but my favorite is the PS2 game, Wrath of Heaven even though I love the first two PS1 games! I still dream of a new iteration, but it's people such as yourself that keep the scene alive, which is always great to witness!
