It was a really early CD-Rom game, probably 1993ish. You started off in the stone ages using sticks and rocks, fighting off bad guys and solving puzzles, and you’d move through time using the weapons of that era. I don’t think I would classify it as an educational game because outside of the weapons and settings, I don’t remember much of it having any information.
I’m pretty sure it was the first video game I ever beat.
Edit: it was not a real time strategy game. It was third person perspective.
Oh yeah, Time Commando. Had the demo as a kid and I played it so much, thought it was the best game ever. The demo was just some parts of the prehistoric and roman levels, I think. Then years later I suddenly remembered it and picked it up on sale from GOG, and oh boy, did this game age badly. The cutting edge graphics for its time are just plain ugly today, and the gameplay is boring. My advice to you is stick to your memories but don’t bother with the actual game.
It’s not Age of Empires is it?
Do you remember the genre or visuals at all? Like perspective, artstyle etc?
Either the flash game Age of War, or Age of Empires.
Is it Rise of Nations?
