I figure we're all fans of old games here, and I'm trying to remember the name of a game I played in High School. Also, I'm hoping it's somewhere here on GOG. I didn't play it a whole lot, but I remember it being fun. Here's what I do remember about it:
I'd say it came out sometime in the early 90s. Probably '91 or '92. It was an RPG-type game set in ancient Rome. You started out as a slave ( I think) and the idea was to get out of whatever city you started in before a volcano destroyed the city. I remember you had to steal the clothes of a citizen to be allowed to leave the city. In fact, you stole his clothes while he was taking a bath in a bath house, I believe. Something like that, anyway. Once you got out of the city, you ended up in a larger city where you could buy gladiators and enter them into fights. I'm sure there was more to the game than this, but that's really all I can remember.
I get the weird feeling this is going to be a game that doesn't age well, but I remember liking it in High School. Anyone have any idea what game it is?
