Notes:

[1] Game conceived/produced by Kou Shibusawa.

[2] Based on the famous Chinese classical novel 'Shui Hu Zhuan' (translated into English as 'Water Margin') detailing the trials and tribulations of 108 outlaws during the 12th century Song Dynasty, BANDIT KINGS OF ANCIENT CHINA represents the first historical simulation of this important period in Chinese history.

[3] Game must be launched from WB.

[4] No sequel to this game was ever released on the Amiga; the disks circulating on the internet are fake.

[5] Distributed in Germany by Bomico.
