Morita Shogi 64 is the final game in the Morita Shogi series of shogi video games published by Seta.

The N64 cartridge for this game is notable for featuring a modem port, allowing for online play against other players. Many years later it was found that this can be exploited via arbitrary code execution, yikes!¹
