I vaguely remember such a game as well, but I am not sure exactly what it was.
SPQR stands for Senatus Populus Que Romanus, or the Senate and People of Rome. |

It wouldn't happen to be Rome A.D. 92 (AKA Rome: Pathway to Power), by any chance?
You're not teleported back in time, but you spend plenty of time trekking around Roman cities. HOTU link |

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... [/b][/quote] Add to all of this that Steven Spilberg assisted Gerge Lucas in creation of this game. Indeed nice game, great plot, and almost like an movie |

That's correct. Game was a hailed too much using the Spilberg's name. At the end, it turned out to have below average graphics at that time (althoguh it still looks ok) and very bad story. Story is good, but totaly unoriginal, which wasn't appreciated in my country at all. I don't appreciate it either. Still, Dig is good adventure.
Back to the topic. You said that you could roam the streets of Rome. Could you be more specific? Roaming like in Diablo, Sierra adventures or screen by screen like in Lost in Time ???? |
