A couple of days ago Swedrami posted about an educational game called
The Spirit of Europe Origins I would absolutely love to see a game like this based on Lindsey Davis' Marcus Didius Falco series. It can be both educational, explore the ancient Roman empire, family life, learn Latin, meet the emperors, Nero, Vespasian and other historic figures, solve crime and eventually become a noble citizen. This could be either an RPG in the vein of Tyrrany, a text-heavy Adventure game with lots of graphics (think Infocom or Tides of Numenara), or a hybrid of RPG/Tactical/Simulation, a City/Empire Builder, where it is possible to take on the role of one of the emperors, to rebuild Rome, while working with actors from the novels.
