LGR - Liberty or Death - DOS PC Game Review

Leon Staton

Are you going to cover more of the localized Koei DOS games sometime later? Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye and Uncharted Waters: New Horizons would be worth a look. Koei also did a bilingual adventure game called EMIT (which has two sequels).

After watching this, I started to think about parts of my country's (Australia's) history that would make good strategy/simulation games. We have had a few small-scale internal conflicts (like the Eureka Rebellion), and participated in major conflicts from WW1 onwards. Apart from our defeat at Gallipoli in WW1, I can't think of anything that would be "as Australian" as the Independence War is American for you (at least anything that would make a good strategy game). I hope that makes sense! Also this: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/JyWNFJ0.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/JyWNFJ0.jpg</a> :P

Certain? I'd have thought it would be many of them :) &lt;runs action="" best="" c64="" for="" how="" investigate="" it="" off="" set="" some="" time="" to="" up=""&gt;&lt;/runs&gt;

queen of scots didnt make the cut I see what you did there

Lindsay Michelle

Haha, oops. At least nothing valuable got burned!

LGR

It actually left major burn marks in the table it was sitting on! So much for that thing, it was plastic anyway

Lindsay Michelle

Yeah, that was probably a smart move to shoot that outside. I would have been afraid the box would catch on fire or at least have burn marks... haha

LGR

Mood lighting is required for certain DOS games

LGR

Aw yeah.

LGR

Awesome to hear :)

LGR

Yes, yes I did :D And those were Morning Glories, which are a HUGE fire hazard compared to sparklers! This was filmed outside, haha

LGR

Thanks! Koei made some excellent historical strategy war games indeed

Lindsay Michelle

1:12 - did you seriously gather and set up all that stuff JUST to shoot that epic 'MERICUH scene with the game box? Holy crap, dude. Hope those sparklers weren't too much of a fire hazard.

Michael Lamartina

Wow! I forgot Koei made games like this, though on the other hand a revolution era dynasty warriors game would be fun. Great review!

I was never a fan of these types of games but I do like history so I might give it a try if I ever came across it. Nice job Clint.

Banjo Guy Ollie

yeah likewise actually. Somehow, it just brought me back 20 years ago, in my room :) neat little angle

Maximilien Noal

4:50 -&gt; nice computer pr0n ! :)

Rob Caporetto

I have to admit - I find the whole developed by a non-US team aspect really interesting with this, just from the whole outsider perspective. And yes, the atmosphere of the review was nicely bolstered up by showing it on hardware with nice mood lighting :)

LGR

Thanks, I thought it was a nice touch!

Robert Launder

I really enjoy the shots of the game playing on an old computer. Please keep doing this :)

Nick Schafer

Yay for new LGR!
