CDX: great Flash adventure by BBC History (in association with Preloaded) for their "Ancient Rome" series.

Oh, and warning: can be pretty taxing on your system/connection/time.

i can't get the stupid flightcase in the minigame. Can someone tell me where i'm supposed to click?

NM, I got it. That mini game practically ruined it for me. Almost no feedback to direct you to where you're supposed to click.

Flightcase - Just click and drag the arrow straight up over the center of the flightcase to the top edge of the screen. Notice that the arrow is sort of "throbbing"? Wait till it's "skinny" and release the mouse button. That should do it.

Already finished episode 1 a couple of days ago. My problem was the name of the river. First online game I'd played that made me feel like a locally installed game.

Can't play it from a non-British IP address...

anthill, I'm playing it from Holland just fine. Samizdata (for example), seems to be in the US.
