For the non-strategy game fans, this is the Famicom release of 三国志 or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Not that easy to find!

Yup! There was an SNES/SFC re-release in 1994.

Also have the SFC version, had no idea it came out on FC! This is awesome lol that'll make for quite a fine piece in your collection.

I don’t really care for Koei’s strategy games, but I love those big boxes their Famicom games came in.

This one opens to the left, just like a Japanese book!

Yeah, and they’re so hefty compared to pretty much any other Famicom game (no doubt because the manuals are so thick).

I was lucky enough to snag a wholesale lot of boxed Famicom games many years back, and it included 8 different of those big honking Koei strategy games. They even did a Suikoden game!

I absolutely love anything KOEI strategy, so you've got me jealous! I'm still looking for a good opportunity for Bandit Kings, none yet so far!
