Developed by Koei, Leading Company arrived on the Super Nintendo in 1993 as a strategy game. It blends strategy and simulation elements.
It landed about 2 years into the SNES's life. Other notable SNES releases from 1993 include Super Mario All-Stars, Secret of Mana and The Lost Vikings.
Koei also made Aerobiz, Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire and Uncharted Waters II: New Horizons for the SNES.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Tip for newcomers: Read the manual or tutorial if one exists: retro strategy games often assume you know their rules. Save between missions.
