I like the game Rome: Total War. I am a gamming person and I would have to say, the time periods might not match exactly, but you gotta remember, the game was focused on Rome, and the years do count down from 300 B.C. to whenever A.D. (I kind of haven't made it far enough to know when it actually stops counting the years, but I'd guess it never really does, just until you rule it all, or none)
