"Open up and say AAaaaAhhHhh!!!~!~"

Didn't do much or go anywhere this weekend, and i found this link from a friend. YES !!! to all
old school gamerz, we can now play RTK on Windows XP !
So wtf is RTK? Anyone familiar with KOEI will recognize the company as the developer of the brilliant computer series Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which later gave birth to the Kessen series for the Playstation. This is the second game in the series, and is just packed with action.

The game is based on the rivalry between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, two leading figures in Ancient China. You are free to choose between 12 different leaders. Each one of these has a different starting position and generals. And it supports up to 12 players in multiplayer-mode.

The music sux big time and the graphic of course, old school style ( wtf DOS based, what do u expect ). The object of the game is to conquer the whole of China, and with 11 rivals this is not an easy task. A good tip would be to start making alliances right away. And if you go to war, use several generals, and divide your army into separate groups. Romance of the Three Kingdoms II uses a very nice attack feature called simultaneously attack, which means that several troops can attack at once. And each unit can attack once with the support of the other troops, so if you have an enemy surrounded with four troops, you get a whoopin total of 16 attacks (4x4).

All in all this is an excellent strategy game, with excellent battle-controls and a really magnificent political system. With options like bad propaganda, bribing, assassinations, alliances, and of course duels between the leaders. If a leader refuses to fight man to man, he will be considered a coward, and some of his men will flee. The game is just perfect, and a must have.

p/s : you need to download the DosBox if you are running Windows XP, kongming.net has a comprehensive guide on it.
