Genghis Khan

Review
Also known as
Aoki Ōkami to Shiroki Mejika: Genghis Khan 蒼き狼と白き牝鹿 ジンギスカン

Lead armies and use diplomacy in a turn based strategy game to unite tribes or conquer the world.

Genghis Khan was originally released in 1987 for Japanese computers (NEC PC-88, etc.). The NES version was released in Japan in 1989, so the legacy year 1987 refers to the original computer release, not the NES platform.

About Genghis Khan

Genghis Khan is a grand strategy title for the NES where players pursue dominance through territorial control. The setting is based on the historical figure, offering two distinct campaign paths. One follows Temujin's early efforts to unify Mongolian tribes, while another expands the scope to global conquest with a choice of four leaders.

Province management forms a central activity, with various improvements to oversee. Conflict can be resolved through direct military campaigns, requiring army assembly and command, or through diplomatic maneuvers like arranged marriages. Battles occur on hex-based maps where players issue orders to unit groups with the goal of eliminating opposing forces.

The ultimate aim across both campaigns is to achieve supreme rule, either by uniting all tribes or all countries. This involves a challenging blend of strategic planning across martial and political spheres.
