A few small traces are all that remain in the game files to indicate that a detailed mini-map had once been considered to help Ryo navigate around Shenmue I's harbor area.
This isn't a new discovery (it was mentioned on the old Shenmue Dojo forums back in 2016), but may not be widely known so I thought it was worth writing up in a post, and fun to think about how it might have looked. Whether it would have been a good thing or not is another question!
