The story of the Romance of the Three Kingdom is very beautiful, smart, touching, classic, even genius and very - very long. I believe it is more than 3000 pages( approx.). There is one of the many main character in the story, which was my favorite character and someone whom I pictured as my idol, Zhuge Liang who is also famously known as Khong Beng or Kun Ming. He was a man of wisdom and was genius beyond belief. His intelligence sounded almost impossible for a normal human being. In the story, Zhuge Liang was able to read all his enemy's movements and thoughts far in advance. Not only his enemies, but also the people surrounding him, and he could also read the weather, the stars, the winds, and natures. He was very witty and cunning, most remarkably talented with acting.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdom story, all the characters were taken from real life historical characters during the 'Three Kingdom' period in China. The 'Three Kingdom' period was the time when China was split into three kingdoms. Where all three rules in these three separated regions claimed themselves emperor of China. They were the Liu's the Cao's and the Sun's. Since the very first game of Romance of the Three Kingdom, the game designers have decided that the Lius are represented by green flags, the Caos are the blue ones. and the Suns are reds. The happenings inside the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdom are also somewhat similar to the original history. So this book is actually based from the real history of China where the author has managed to transform it successfully to be a romance book of History with lively brilliant characters and plots, edging conversations, tears and laughs, war and marriage, birth and death, the art of war, tactics, devotion and betrayal, deceit and sincerity, all in one story. This is the most amazing book that was created by a Chinese author. The Romance of the Three Kingdom book is so famous up until now that it has been translated into hundreds of other languages and has been sold all around the world. Go down to your local international book store, i am sure you will find one. If not, order it by asking the book store's manager. I am sure they can get it easily in no time.
After awhile, I became a master in playing the Romance of the Three Kingdom game. Not only I know all the characters in the game, I also memorized all their abilities and skills, the time where the character will be available and when it dies, and what will happen in the game (in history mode). I knew the history well from reading the books.
This is my favorite and my first game that i played. Yes, before i played any other games, the Romance of the Three Kingdom II by KOEI was the first game that i played in my whole life.
Now, the game is reproduced and reproduced again and again, with a similar or more annoying gameplay. Oh, how i missed those old RTK (Romance of the Three Kingdom) games. RTK has been published in all kind of platform, including Playstation.
The latest RTK games, is the Romance of the Three Kingdom XI.
But soon enough there will be new RTK coming out. Because they just cannot forget the past glory and the famous story of RTK. Especially in China, local game development studio has been producing all type of genre using RTK as their main story. From adventure to strategy to action adventure. From poorly rendered 3D to high definition 3D. But sadly enough, all games are in Chinese.
