The Legend of Jing Ke

An NES action-adventure game starring Jing Ke, the celebrated assassin of China's late Warring States period. Players guide Jing Ke across multiple regions as he carries out his fateful mission to assassinate Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of Qin. The game blends side-scrolling combat with adventure and puzzle-solving elements, advancing the narrative through character dialogue and key items. The story closely follows the historical account of Jing Ke being entrusted by Crown Prince Dan of Yan and journeying alone into the Qin court, making it one of the earliest NES titles to draw directly from Chinese history as its source material.
