Its developer’s <a href="https://games.sina.com.cn/zhuanqu/guangpu/intro.shtml">historical company profile</a> claims 200,000 copies sold. I played a number of games against it when I was yong and won most of them. I’m an <a href="https://xusheng.dev/posts/grandmaster/">international Xiangqi grandmaster</a>, so that wasn’t particularly surprising, but I still found it a worthwhile opponent.</p> <p>My father is also a Xiangqi fan and used to play this game when he was younger. I found his disk and played it a little myself. It came out in <strong>1992</strong>, the same year I was born.</p>
