This review is from: Roman Town: The Premiere Archaeology Computer Game (Toy)

Just so you know: I am a classical archaeologist and a Latin teacher. These games are great: the graphics are engaging; the information about how archaeologists work is on point; and the historical setting is accurate. Students of all ages can learn about archaeology AND the ancient world. I teach 7th-12th graders and I would use this product with ALL of my classes -- anything that can supplement and enrich what we are doing in the classroom is worth trying. My students are eager to learn and these games make learning fun.

Roman Town is a terrific tool for teaching kids about archeology -- and it's fun, too! The game is extremely interactive, and explains the relevance and structure of archeological tools, processes, and treasures.

I picked up a copy of Roman Town for my 7-year-old niece, and strongly recommend it.
