This review is from: Centurion: Defender of Rome (3.5" disk)

This game was definitely ahead of it's time, units had morale and everything. If you ever wondered where the idea for Rome Total War came from, check out this game although I doubt that today's PCs will be able to run it. The chariot racing and gladiatorial combat mini-games were amusing also.

This game is the bomb. I don't ramble too much, because everything that can be said about this game has been already- see Abandonia's review for more info. Personally, I wish I knew of more modern games along the lines of Centurion: DoR, strategy, but very broad stroke. Enjoy!
