The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A dense, old-school warlord simulation where you methodically marshal officers and armies across hex maps, savoring slow-burn conquest rather than quick thrills.

About

Nobunaga's Ambition II was released by Koei in 1990 for an 8 -bit home console. In this authentic simulation war game, play as a Sengoku Daimyo (warlord), command a vast array of unique officers, and utilize every strategy and tactic at your disposal to unify all 38 fiefs spanning regions such as Kanto and Chubu. Expanding upon its predecessor, "NOBUNAGA'S AMBITION", this entry features a multi-scenario system with two distinct scenarios, HEX battles expanded to include both open battles and siege battles, and a roster of approximately 400 real historical samurai! Enrich your fief, skillfully lead and manage your unique retainers, and expand your domain through warfare and diplomacy to achieve the ultimate goal of unifying Japan!
