Tūnshí Tiāndì III
1995 video game
Tūnshí Tiāndì III (Chinese: 吞食天地III; literal English translation: "Ingestion of Heaven and Earth III") is a console role-playing video game that is exclusive to the Sega Mega Drive.
The game itself was released in two versions. One version of the game is the traditional Chinese version intended for players in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The other version uses the simplified version of the Chinese language and is intended for audiences in mainland China. Despite this minor difference, the story line of these two versions are identical. The ultimate goal of the game is to conquer all of ancient China (referred to in the game as the world) by defeating bandits and local rulers. Because it was an unlicensed game from Taiwan, it was never physically distributed outside of Asia. The player control the three warriors: Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. These legends of 2nd century China have the ability to cast magical spells on enemies like tigers, barbarians, and various kinds of bosses. There are no random encounters and all encounters are visible like in EarthBound, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 1995 video game. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 21, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2993566. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
