Comments and Reviews

Roman Town is a terrific tool for teaching kids about archeology—and it’s fun, too!…I picked up a copy of Roman Town for my 7-year-old niece, and strongly recommend it.

I got a copy for my niece who is 10 she liked it and was able to incorporate it in her report on Rome and lets her classmates try it. I’m a hit with her and her parents!

I have this game for my 7-year old daughter and she loves it, but I must confess I have played the entire game myself!… Both of my kids have learned so much about Roman life playing this game!… I would recommend this for both parents who want a computer game that is actually fun and educational [and] teachers and home schoolers too.

Imagine if Latin teachers in the past had had a copy of Roman Town! This is a fun, attractive, intuitive game that will entertain as well as teach archeology to most anyone from elementary school on through adulthood. In fact after a half hour or so I had to relinquish the computer to my grandchildren so that they could play. Who knew archeology could be so much fun!
