Hello! I've been searching for a game I probably played on the Acorn Archimedes, or possibly BBC microcomputer.
All I can remember is that it was an archaeology based game where you drove around Carlisle (North West England) digging up Roman settlements. It was probably educationally, and I remember digging trenches and choosing where to travel on a map.
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
This one?

That's very close. I think it could be Arcventure: The Romans. However, the only screenshots I can find are from the PC remake and are too modern. Also, the game takes place in Gloucester, and I specifically remember my game taking place in Carlisle...
I know we don't do abandonware around here, but I'd love a tip off of anyone knows where roms and emulators for this era of game can be found.
Some educational games were 'localised', could it be that?
I suppose, but Gloucester and Carlisle are both in England, so it seems like a lot of effort.
