Play San Goku Shi (Japan edition · Japanese) Online

Select New Start for the title, then set the scenario from six eras (from Dong Zhuo's dictatorship to Jiang Wei's will), monarch in charge, 1 player/multiplayer, whether to watch foreign wars, historical/imaginary, appearance of registered military commanders, and normal/advanced. The first time, you are alone, you don't "see" wars in other countries, and the normal difficulty level is easy to understand. Once you start, use the information to check the base's money, provisions, number of soldiers, military commanders, and neighboring cities, and assign the military commanders with high politics to development, flood control, commerce, and technology. Recruit soldiers, train them, scout neighboring countries, and then choose war. It is safe to prepare your income, loyalty, and supplies without forcing yourself to attack from the beginning.

Use the cross button to select a city, military commander, command, or numerical digit, press A to confirm, and press B to cancel/return to the previous screen. On the war map, use the cross button to specify troops, movement destinations, and attack destinations, press A to confirm commands, and press B to cancel. Save is done from the in-game function command. Since it is turn-based, there is no need for real-time pauses, and you can consider the command as it is before finalizing it. The additional functions of L, R, START, and SELECT in the GBA version are not described because they could not be confirmed with public materials.
