a game where you were diggin an ancient site and somehow got transported back to anceient roman times..

my memories of this are REALLY sketchy

any ideas?

ummm..minesweeper??? im sry i have no idea il continue to thnk

Would it be, per chance, The Dig?

Edit: Underdogs Link.

Here are some screens.

Can't be The DIG. He said: The DIG takes you into space.

Was the game text based??? I have some wague memories of a text based adventure where you ended up in some ancient pre-christian culture...

Thing is Sebastianos, I never played The Dig myself... It's an adventure game. :sneaky:

You never played The DIG??? Well it's an excelent adventure (by Lucasarts offcourse) and has one of the best storylines as far as the adventures go!!!

You must blast an asteroid to change its path (and not to hit Earth) but you discover it's really an allien craft that transports you to another world. On that planet they invented some great things - one of them was an imortality pill, but that one caused serious addictions and social misbehaviour... They also created the Nexus and the entire civilization disapeared into it - except for the inventor (who created both the passage and the pill). You must bring the others back from the nexus in order for them to return you to your home world - and there are some eerie alien creatures chasing you (like a giant spider or a sea serpent)...
EXCELENT STUFF - to bad it's from Lucas. I guess it won't be abandoned any time soon...

The story sounds like that of the book "Timeline" by Michael Criton, but I wasn't aware that there was a game about it.

EDIT: and in the book they went back to medieval times so i'm probably wrong.

Actually I think they took parts of Timeline - but most of it from Arthur C. Clarke's Meeting with Rama and The Hammer of God.

Sebastianos: I hate adventure games and I would not be found playing one even if it would be the last thing my computer could still run...
