Destiny of an Emperor. Captured from an actual NES console and cartridge. Destiny of an Emperor is a traditional console role-playing game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Loosely based upon Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms dramatic novel, it was released in the United States by Capcom in 1989.
Destiny of an Emperor utilises a number of features which made it unique amongst other traditional RPGs of the time. The player's party consists of up to seven members, five of which can actively participate in combat at any single time, one who serves as a replacement for characters killed in combat, and one to serve as both a reinforcement member and party tactician. The tactician provides magic-like effects, which all members involved in combat are able to use. Additionally, the player can capture or recruit around 120 available characters into his/her party over the course of gameplay.
