Alright, so Romance of the Three Kingdoms III on SNES is basically what happens when you take a history textbook, throw in some warlord drama, and turn it into a strategy game that makes you overthink every decision. You start by picking one of the legendary warlords—Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or Sun Quan—and suddenly you're drowning in menus full of troop movements, diplomacy, and spies. It’s not just about brute force; half the time, you’re sweating over whether to bribe an enemy officer or just assassinate them.

The map’s this gorgeous, sprawling thing with little pixel-art cities, and you’ll spend ages just moving armies around like some paranoid general. Oh, and if you think you can ignore farming and taxes to focus on war? Good luck—your people will revolt, and then you’re stuck putting down rebellions while your rivals laugh at you. The music’s got that classic SNES vibe too, all dramatic strings and drums that make even tax collection feel epic.

It’s one of those games where you’ll lose track of time because “one more turn” turns into three hours of scheming. Just don’t trust Lu Bu—seriously, that guy betrays everyone.
