Is Liberty or Death [SNES] Worth Playing Today? - SNESdrunk

The title that probably holds the crown for "Most Metal Name but Least Metal Game."

This game is criminally underrated, the fact you can take advantage of the knowledge of events on both sides.

Koei hit their stride with The Romance of the Three Kingdoms series starting with 3 and continuing up through a lot of sequels. My entire family would sit down and play part 8 on the PS2 for hours at a time. It was like our family game night thing which was one of the few things we did all together that was just kind of calm and relaxing...until we eventually conquered all the computer controled characters and had to start fighting with one another, then it became like playing Monopoly as we started trying to destroy one another. Thankfully, it could take a couple of family game nights before it reached that point.

They really stiffed Benedict Arnold on his loyalty stat in this game, wonder what he did to piss off the developers.

My Dad became obsessed with Operation Europe on the SNES and he got so good at it I could never beat him at it. Good memories. He also loved the P.T.O games.

"Give me Liberty, or give me SNES!" - Patrick Henry probably.

I remember reading somewhere that these type of games were popular in Japan as they found the history of foreign nations, especially the U.S. rather fascinating. Pretty sure there was a Famicom game along the same theme that was never officially translated and brought to the west.

2:18 he's coming he's coming he's coming

Most American "Snes Drunk" intro ever.

I’m not ashamed to say, it’s my favorite game of all time. Came out when I was a young history nerd. The officers were all researched well. The hard mode was an awesome challenge. The battles and management were great for the time. I still play it once a year.

Make sure to play Gemfire! Fantasy-based! It was a favorite of mine and my best friend's, when I was 11! The fact we understood how to play it is just now hitting me as unusual... I would begin as the kingdom with only one territory, and I knew how to politic with food trading, and spying, and appeasing my people, and cultivating crops, and waiting for high sales seasons, and battling my way across all 43 provinces (I think)... We would ally with each other's kingdoms in 2 player, until the map was covered, allowing each other equal spaces... then we'd break the alliance and see who could win! It was even back and forth pretty much! So much fun for a 9, and an 11 yo pair of dorks!

Well done on the intro today, sir. 🇺🇸

The Brad Neely reference was clutch. I'm gonna have "Washington, Washington" on repeat all day

2:33 "Let's facilitate connectivity with our founding fathers" OK that line gave me a chuckle

Dude just casually found the most advanced SNES game

2:17 - 🎵he’ll kick you apart, he’ll kick you apart Ooooh He’ll save children - but not the British children

This game is known as Dokuritsu Sensou in Japan, and is programmed by Stieg Hedlund while working at Koei. Empire Total War's Road to Independence campaign has a similar premise to this, apparently.

The intro today legit made me chuckle. Bravo! Loving the DrunkFriend podcast!

The Ethan Allen joke is what got me

This and PTO for the super Nintendo were the favorite of my Father. I have great memories watching him play these games
