Thanks, ill look up a youtube review.

Iron Storm for the Saturn is worth a look see. While very unrealistic it can be pretty challenging. (It is a port of one of the long running Daisenryaku series.)

Heir of Zendor might be worth a look - one of the all too many games I have but have never gotten around to playing - something I aim to remedy when I retire in the very near future

For the snes these might be worth looking at:

War 2410
War 2010
Super Conflict

(these are all a bit clunky due to age and give too much power to air units (in War 2410 and super confilct) - once you have control of the air (which is pretty easy to do, the scenario is pretty much over)

Metal Marines - one of my favorite games for the console

Super Battleship - the battle scenarios are pretty fun but don't offer anything in the way of replay

Super Rampart - an action game - but lots of fun since you get to build things and then blow other things up with cannons - really frenetic action in the later stages of the game

The various Koei games - Genghis Khan, Liberty or Death, Nobunga's ambition, rise of the Phoenix, Romance of the three kingdoms (by three) and P.T.O. - heavily menu driven - fun if you can get into them (there may be some other Koei snes games - that is just off the top of my head)

Gemfire - Another Koei game but very simplistic in comparison to the others - if you are looking for a filler game to do something for a night or two to kill time this works admirably since you can finish a game within that time frame


(One highly underrated game (IMHO) for the PS is Nectaris - heckuva a buy for the amount of gameplay you get. )

This. Amazing game.

These as well. Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Nobunaga's Ambition are the most well known, but that's because they're the best games Koei has developed(coincidentally, I just started a new game of RoTK10 last night.)

Romance of the Three Kingdoms Wall of Fire(SNES, PSX, and Saturn) is still one of the best in the series. It got a decent amount of strategy gameplay involved, but at the same time, it doesn't add unwanted features that slow the pace of the game down like RotK7 and 8 did. Graphically, it can be argued, but I think it's SNES, Saturn, PSX.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 6 on the PSX is a good game as well. Then you might want to stay away from the series until 9-11. 12 is a PC exclusive. It's had a fan translation into English somewhere and looks really good, I just haven't played it.

I liked Super Battleship's original mode.

I just wish I could beat the final mission and see the ending.

War 2410 is a good one for the SNES if you want a boardgame hexagonal grid style with ease of play.

Commando is the best most realistic war game out there, shoot those evil grey coats dead!

Not really - they are mostly strategy games (of varying complexity) - RPG strategy games usually incorporate many of the same elements and mix them with rpg elements.
