About Warrior of Rome
Warrior of Rome is a strategy game set during the Ancient Roman era. It is shown from a top-down perspective and all units are represented by icons on the square fields of the playing map. The basic gameplay is simple: on each of the four levels there are goals to fulfill, e.g. destroying pirate ships. To do so, the player chooses a unit and gives it the order to move somewhere. When hostile units meet, they fight automatically; the fights are shown in separate windows.

Before you buy
Among US carts it sits below the middle. The Japanese loose cart usually costs more than the US one, but a complete Japanese copy usually costs about half as much. The Japanese cartridge has a different shape. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
