In Gengis Khan, you’re not just playing history—you’re rewriting it with pixelated armies. This 1989 Koei classic lets you lead the great Mongol conqueror (or other rulers) in your quest for world domination. You’ll balance the delicate arts of war, diplomacy, and making sure your subjects don’t hate your guts. The graphics are sparse, but the depth is shocking: marriages, heirs, resource management, all while plotting to conquer China or Europe. It’s like Crusader Kings’ great-grandparent, except no one makes memes about it.
Computer Gaming World - Issue 55 (1989): "It is possible to quibble with the game's structure. One could suggest that the menu/sub-menu/sub-menu interface for giving orders causes unnecessary keystrokes. It is possible to argue that the angle of the world map in the world conquest scenario is somewhat disorienting from a western perspective. Still, the fact remains that Genghis Khan is the toughest, most satisfying, and richest historical simulation, yet!. If there are any better historical simulations anywhere that touch base with the forces of human society more thoroughly, this writer is unaware of them".
