You would raise taxes, raise armies and conquer the world. Big deal, right? But the innovations introduced by programmer George Jaroszkiewicz are remarkable for their modernity. (EDIT: Originally this article attributed the design to Andrew Pan, whom Mobygames lists as the C programmer. Mr. Jaroszkiewicz wrote in to correct me. Apologies are extended to him, and gratitude for his gracious email.) [...] [...] Annals of Rome was a single player game in which you took on the role of Rome, guiding it through the centuries.

It would be really cool if you could get all the designers/programmers to give a back story like Mr. Jaroszkiewicz did here. Nice job. Troy,
