Spartan (computer Game)
''Spartan'' is a computer wargame developed by Slitherine Strategies in 2004. The game is set in ancient Greece and Asia Minor. ''Spartan'' is a turn-based game; however, when armies encounter each other in battle the game switches to real time combat available in both 2D and 3D visuals.
