Oops, I meant English subtitles, sorry.

I watched episode 9 and 10 last night.
If you find an episode like this for example
episode 1/3. Start it and the other parts should play automatically.
This is an extensive Series BTW, There are more than 100 episodes. Even though I read the books (a while ago), watching the episodes makes you understand the characters better.
For example episodes 9 and 10 explains why LuBu betrays Dong Zhuo (very well portrayed BTW); because he was so in love with Daochan (briefly mentioned in the books),Wang Yun's adopted daughter.
It gives us a new look on the characters we like so much in Three Kingdoms.
For example, I don't see LuBu as an idiot anymore.

If a few of you guys decide to watch the Series we can make a Three Kingdoms topic in the general forum so we can discuss about it.

I watched the first episode of LikeClean's upload. It had a long introduction...well 3 minutes or so. XD I guess it is hard to portray everything about Cao Cao in the first show, but he didn't fit the way I have him visualized.

Anyway, I am going to try to watch some of them...I doubt I'll ever catch up though, so don't wait on me.

Thanks for the info.

Any information that I provide is based on the SNES version unless otherwise specified. I have thousands of hours into New Horizons and I have played it since it was released in the US on the SNES.

Okay,I'm at episode 21.
This series is so well made and the characters are amazingly well portrayed! Cao Cao is more despicable on screen than in writing!
You can really appreciate the interactions between the advisers and their masters, their plans, ideas,and schemes!
The battles, sieges and duels are cool to watch too!

So far I saw Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Dong Zhuo,Yuan Shao,Yuan Shu,Sun Ce, Tao Quian, Lu Bu, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Gio Jia, Chang Yu, Xun Yu, Zhou Yu, Cheng Gong, and a few more I can't recall at the moment.

I can't wait to see Zhuge Liang! 😀

I've just started a new Bandit Kings game.
It's been so long since I played that I forgot how it works.
I recruited 7 generals so far but I got my butt kicked when I attacked an enemy territory. 😀
That's okay because when it's hard, it's more fun!

I think that was one of the reasons that I played that game so much, the first time I was overwhelmed by the Northern Horde in Jan. 1127. I had just gotten the Imperial Edict and then that happened. 🙁

Now I pretty much know where to find the heroes I want and how to get them without any problem. Bait and defeat is one of my favorite tactics.

That's the problem when you know a game too much, you don't enjoy it as much.
Next I'll play a game of Rise of the Phoenix because the last time I played it was 18 years ago at least so I don't remember anything about it.
I can't say the same about RTK 1 and 4 because I never stopped playing them.
Next on my list will be Genghis Khan, then Nobunaga's ambition. 😀

Yeah, I agree. I still need to play Rise of the Phoenix, by the time I found that game I had a lot of new games to try already...so I will get to it. Genghis Khan, RTK 1 and 2, and Nobunaga's Ambition I played a lot when I got them twenty-plus years ago, and more recently,...because I couldn't buy as many games then.

Even though I put hundreds of hours into those game, maybe even over a thousand hours in some of them, I have more time in New Horizons and I really never stopped playing it.

Some people think I'm weird because I still play those games. You guys understand why we like to play them.
We had a great time then and now.
I remember in the late 80's to early 90's my house was full of neighborhood kids. Me and my younger brother had a NES in the kitchen, a SNES in the living room and a TurbografX in his bedroom so everybody were playing something.
Our Ice Hockey tournaments were the most fun for me.
Every time someone had a new game he'll bring it to my home and we'd all try it while eating pizza.
So many good memories!
Even though that time is long gone now I can still enjoy strategy games since they only require one player.
I bet I'd still be playing when I'm old (you know 70,80,90 yo). 😀
BTW, my younger bro still play games so I'm not the only one in the family. Whenever we talk on the phone our favorite subject is, guess what? 🙂
