Have any of you remember playing Koei's Liberty or Death?

Its surprising no one has yet come up with a modern day Liberty or Death title.

I loved that game, it was alot of fun.[:)]

I bought it new about 1993. I played it, but it's been so long ago I've forgotten what it was like. [&:]

Was that the one with point to point movement?  Each turn representing a week?

I loved the guerilla units![&o]

If a title like this returns to the market... with todays functionability and graphics design... it would be a sure fire hit.

It doesnt ring a bell, I'm gonna have to google it.

I played it through abt a year ago - very fun and challenging if you can get over the date graphics. You can find it from abandonia.

TheLegacy has a photo of the contents of the retail box and MobyGames provides a brief description.

Thanks for the link... brought back some old memories.

I just cant believe that no developer or publisher has yet to make a sequel to Liberty or Death. The game was amazing... combining Strategic and Tactical level of gameplay, as well as providing historical education.

AGEOD's Birth of America was a good game... Historical Accuracy was great, as well as gameplay design, however the map is too cluttered with too much animation. The game is also without a tactical system.

A few other factors prevented me from purchasing the title:

- I enjoy to be able to view Troop Strength of Army Units. Example Northern Continental Army : 3456 Troops

- I noticied a serious drag in the games FPS (Frames Per Second) in Birth of America - Demo

I have yet to play For Liberty, by Matrix Games... I plan to play the demo in the coming days.

Liberty Or Death is a wonderful wargame. A lot of educating contents, great historical acuracy and brillant gameplay make it one of most significant wargames from KOEI. Now it is available on any site with old games, I recommend GamesWin for downloading all games of KOEI, among many old wargames.

I went to Gameswin, not many games under the strategy section. I noticed reach for the stars, http://www.gameswin.org/gamesen.php?id=2131

U need an emulator? What's the best again?

I found the games

Yes, an emulator is needed. The best DosBox, emulating old DOS enviroment.

Doesn't look as fancy as Master of Orion [8|]

Greetings All,
Still have the super nes version, from what I remember about this game, it’s next to impossible to defeat the English, unless you get lucky and the French and Spanish come in early on the American side.
