Anybody here played the games, or read the book?

RTK IV on SNES. Too bad the AI was not challenging in the least.

No kidding. Cause it could be such a good game if the AI was better.

I have RTKIII (original disks, manual and box) and I loved it. I agree that the AI is a little dimwitted, but I love how there are so many options for each turn.
The challenge battles are kind of cool too (the ones where the horse riders duel against each other).
Hmm, I may go and reinstall it again

I've read the book, and used to have, until it was stolen, the original KOEI version (from 1988, I believe) It was way cool for its time, and something that ran mono/CGA on an 8086 with 384k, if you remember those Paleolithic days.

I still play Nabunaga's Ambition and Bandit Kings of Ancient China on my original NES. I believe they came out in 89 and 91 respectively.

Had original KOEI version for the first nintendo system. Then 2 & 3 for sega.Is there any comp versions? I asked someone in the game forum same question (I dont remember whom it was,my apologies to him)and I believe the reply was no comp. version.I think it would sell very well if they made one . Lots of fans of it obviously. I'm one.

4 Horses - I LOVED Nobunaga's Ambition 1 and 2, and Bandit Kings - but had the PC versions, which I think came out a year earlier in the English PC versions, but were big sellers in Japan before that. I had the original Japanese Nobunaga's Ambition when I lived in Japan '85 to '86, and got the Japanese version of Sangokushi (RTK) in early 87. So KOEI took a long time to do English versions of the games, but that was in DOS days when you couldn't localize interfaces with one .DLL file
But they were seriously cool games for the time.

KOEI made the best Period Strategy Wargames out there. I've played Romance and Ghengis Khan on NES, and I've got Nobunaga's Ambition II on the Genesis.

RTK IV had a computer version(I'd like to get a copy but I can't find it).
In Japan and China they have RTK V and RTK VI but Koei is not going to make an english version of either of these games(which sucks cause I don't speak Japanese)
