16-Bit Gems #18 [1/2]: Liberty or Death (SNES, Genesis)

Part 1 of 2. In a title that could be named: "America: The Video Game", Roo finds a historical strategy game that winds up being one of the very best that this sadly limited genre had to offer on 16-bit consoles. It's Patriots. It's Redcoats. It's prudently maintaining your gunpowder supplies while you write gazettes to maintain the support of the people. It's "Liberty or Death"!

PLEASE NOTE: Many jokes made at Great Britain's expense were with tongue firmly planted in cheek. We here at CotGW would never mean to offend those limey bastards.

@KampucheaKing He probably had the position memorized or it took him several tries.

If you noticed when Roo pulled out the game, he did it blindly without even turning around. Watch @ .22 sec

Boring game, one battle lasts for the whole day. Imagine how long it takes to kill 5000 soldiers and you only kill 40-60 per turn If you could just skip battles and see who's the winner instantly it would be more interesting. Unfortunately there's no such option. So why not throwing this shitty game in the garbage?
