Game name: Pyramids.
http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/24369

Brief description: in this arcade game you have to help the egyptians make pyramids. You do this by timing your the key presses right.

I think some people need some term clarified here: Ancient Civilisations Civilisations. That includes: Egyptians, Hellenistic Civilisation (Greeks of Antiquity [yes, that includes Sparta], Macedonians), Mayans, Incas, Aztecs, North Indians (the Indus Valley Civilisation), Toltec, Romans, Phoenicians, Babylonians, Minoans, Hebrews, The "Barbarians" of Antiquity [mainly Persians], Ancient Chinese/Japanese. Ancient Civilisations also includes the Celts and Isreali, and I have pointed this out seperately because most people do not realise this. Note that the topic is purposefully rather vague, so as to leave the genre rather open and attract many games. So with all these options, I really don't see why so many people are choosing an Egyptian theme. Don't take my word for it, but Ancient Civilisation may or may not include Stone Age man, because they are ancient, but not particularly civilised. It is also rather vague as to whether Ancient encompasses all past civilisations or only those of the Antiquity Era. If it only refers to Antiquity, then the Dark Ages and Medieval Ages are exempt, and that means no Vikings (who were not too civilised anyway), Saxons or other Germanic Tribes. Obviously there is a limit to the timeline, as we won't be calling a WWI Game "Ancient". Also, although the Indians are an Ancient peoples, I'm quite sure a Cowboys vs Indians Game will NOT be considered for the competition. However, I'm sure that the judging of games will be fairly leniant and the definition of Ancient Civilisations will be fairly broad. Although, I do fear that there will be a swarm of people trying to downgrade games by posting multiple times "THE <insert civilisation here> WEREN'T ANCIENT!!!!!".

Hope this helps some people,

I'll join i'm working on a game now it's a platformer and you are searching for artifacts in the pyramids.

Hi
Mr. overmars did not write anything about Persian civilization maybe because he don't know about it or read something in high school history books that they was written by Herodotus and in Herodotus written texts Persians were devils that always want to kill or slave Greeks.
But if you want to know about Persians go to www.spentaproductions.com or read the book "golden age of Persia"
I am creating a game about Persian sivilisation and I hope to make it before ending time of competition.
In the ancient Persia men and women were equal and could vote and all of their rolls were based on humanity
Persian king cyrus the great was the first empire that use his power to help others and did not use it to kill them.

hi I sort of don't know what to do because I rated a competition game before I was going to enter or had read the rules.
but the rules clearly say.

"Competition entrants must not rate competition games. Any competitor rating a competition game will be disqualified."

Now I don't now what to do.

I'm going to add a game about incas

In my game, for this competition, can be fantasy monsters ?

And size limit of game ?

Try Out my game "Civilization RAMPage".

This game is not set in a distinct period of time, once you've tried it you should know that nothing about the game is historicly or logicly correct:P

Webmaster did make the mistake about Vikings,
but they were pretty civilized people.:)

Battles for the Promised Land
A Book-of-Mormon Based Scrolling Shooter

(this takes place before the Sioux, before the Aztecs, even before the Olmecs)

Brief Description: This is not your ordinary scrolling shooter. You can only move left and right, but you have to use aiming skills to shoot in any direction with your mouse. There are 8 differents weapons, and 6 different enemies. This scrolling shooter actually has levels in which one is harder than the previous one. The first level may seem ridiculously easy, but eventually they become really hard.
