Tenchi wo Kurau II - Sekiheki no Tatakai (CPS Changer, 921031 Japan)

**Tenchi wo Kurau II - Sekiheki no Tatakai** is one of Capcom's classic side-scrolling beat 'em up games, set against the backdrop of the famous historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Players choose one of five mighty generals, each possessing unique characteristics and skills, to participate in the war to unify China.

The core gameplay revolves around moving through horizontally scrolling screens, confronting hordes of enemy soldiers. Players can perform basic attacks, jump, and utilize a powerful special attack (which typically consumes a portion of their health). A notable feature is the ability to pick up and use various weapons such as swords, spears, bows, and axes from defeated enemies or crates. Each weapon offers different combat advantages and has a certain durability.

Another unique feature is the ability to ride horses. When mounted, characters gain increased movement speed, and their attacks also change, often becoming more powerful or having a wider range. However, horses can also be defeated, forcing the player to continue fighting on foot. Managing health by picking up food items dropped by enemies or found in crates is crucial.

Each stage concludes with a challenging boss battle, requiring players to master their skills and tactics to defeat. The game supports up to three players simultaneously, creating an engaging cooperative experience. With its detailed graphics and vibrant sound, **Tenchi wo Kurau II - Sekiheki no Tatakai** has become an icon of the arcade beat 'em up genre.
