    Silver River Kingdom is an arcade RPG game that draws inspiration and
    extends the BBC Micro text game "Yellow River Kingdom."


    OVERVIEW

    You are the ruler of a small kingdom by the Silver River.

    Each year has 3 seasons : Growing, Harvest and Winter.

    Your people plant and harvest rice. They dig holes to protect against
    flooding and defend against attacks from bandits.

    At the start of the year you must choose how many will work in the
    fields,
    maintain the ditch by the river, defend the villages or harvest rice.
    You must also choose how many rice baskets will be planted.

    Generally the chief is exempt from this work. But by tradition, one day
    a year they are permitted to fight bandits, dig ditches to protect
    against
    floods and harvest rice.

    Otherwise your role is supervisory. During that day you may re-assign
    villagers as you desire to different roles.

    Periodically during the harvest and winter seasons the river is known to
    flood. Be careful about drowning. The villagers also tend to panic if
    the
    river floods.

    If you survive 24 years then you must retire. But, will your people
    survive
    that long?

    Good luck!
