About this game

Queen is a Chinese‑language harem‑life simulation game developed by Taiwanese studio Paradise Bird Information, released 1997 for MS‑DOS and also compatible with Windows 95, well‑known as the sister title of classic DOS game *Emperor*. You take the role of an empress in ancient imperial China, navigating dangerous court intrigues among the emperor, rival concubines, eunuchs and palace maids. Manage daily harem affairs, win over servants for secret intelligence, give gifts to gain imperial favor and guard against poisoning and witchcraft plots from other consorts. Bear and raise royal princes, striving to secure the crown‑prince status for your offspring. You can indirectly shape state policies and balance court power dynamics. Multiple branching endings are available: you may become a wise powerful empress, a deposed tragic queen or seize supreme court influence. Fully mouse‑driven with complete Chinese UI, classical Chinese pixel art and humorous dialogue, Queen stands as a remarkable domestic retro DOS life‑sim title from the late 1990s抖音百科。
