I was wondering if anyone ever made a computer version of “Gladiator” the old Avlon hill game, or "circus maximus". Both excellent board games. ( Oldies but goldies )

Or would Matrix consider these as posible games for developement.

You might try asking in here.

A google search found this for Gladiator:

I used to enjoy both of these games, albeit with slightly modified rules. We changed the movement for Circus to an "impulse" based system so that chariots could not "boom & zoom" past a motionless opponent.

Uh didnt remember they are in finnish only(?) If youre still willing to give it a try you can find it from here.
