Download Bandit Kings Of Ancient China_Disk1 ROM – Amiga Game

Bandit Kings of Ancient China is one of those classic Koei strategy games where you start with nothing and claw your way to power—except this time, you're not just conquering territory, you're taking down a tyrant. The setup’s great: Emperor Hui Zhong gets overthrown by his own scheming minister, Gao Qiu, and you play as some exiled noble trying to rally forces to kick him out.

At first, you’re weak. Like, really weak. You’ll spend the early game recruiting bandits, picking off minor warlords, and maybe even bribing officials to join your cause. The battles are small-scale at first—just a few hundred men clashing—but once you start taking prefectures, things get serious. Gao Qiu’s untouchable until you’ve built up enough strength, so there’s this slow burn of gathering allies and resources before the final showdown.

What I love is how personal it feels compared to other Koei games. You’re not just painting a map your color; you’re plotting revenge. The Amiga version’s got that old-school charm with its detailed portraits and surprisingly deep diplomacy. Just don’t expect to win in one sitting—this is the kind of game where you’ll lose a few battles before figuring out who to trust (and who to stab in the back).
