Editor note

Play as a lone Persian soldier serving under Cyrus in this graphical adventure. You must infiltrate Babylon (the city specifically) and let in the army. In an impressive bit of historical accuracy, the player must mainly evade the semi-civilian Babylonian police (as opposed to Babylonian solders). The game mostly requires typing VERB NOUN combinations to solve inventory based puzzles.
