{"product_id":"conflict-nes","title":"Conflict - for NES","description":"\u003cp\u003eConflict is a war game developed and published by Vic Tokai for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989. It puts you in the role of a three star general who must accompany his troops all the way to the ultimate victory, moving units across a battlefield laid out on a grid of hexes. Conflict belongs to a small group of serious strategy titles on the console, and it did well enough to earn a sequel on the Super NES titled Super Conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou command the Western Bloc, while the Eastern Bloc is run either by the computer or by a second player. Victory points are the measure of everything: you earn or lose them by occupying cities and destroying units of the opponent's army, so every advance is a calculation about what a position is worth. The hex map rewards patience, placement and knowing when to commit your strength, and the two player option turns Conflict into a long contest across the couch rather than a quick skirmish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers still enjoy Conflict because strategy is a small field on the Nintendo Entertainment System and this one takes itself seriously, asking for thought rather than reflexes. A session lasts as long as you want it to, and the second player option gives the cartridge a long life. Collectors tend to notice Conflict for the same reason: it is a Vic Tokai strategy release sitting among shelves of action games, and it makes an NES collection look broader and more considered than one built on shooters alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turn Based Strategy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e NTSC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1989\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vic Tokai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Only: No Box or Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease note that this listing is for the \u003cstrong\u003egame cartridge only\u003c\/strong\u003e.
