The Great Roman Empire
In the greatest arena, Colosseum, the gladiator convention is being held by the command of the emperor every day. Those who participate in fighting are only humble persons. Gladiators struggle through the battle and risk their lives for their vanity and freedom.
A.D. 180. After Marcus Aurelius dies, and his real son, Commodus succeeds to the throne, the empire built by predecessors loses its prestige at a stretch. However, in A.D. 192, Commodus declares that he himseld is "the Incarnation of Hercules" and beins showing his madness by entering gladiator conventions as a fighter. His folly makes many people anxious about the nation's future. However, Commodus is determined that the fighting is all and asks for the challenge of stronger gladiators.
The tales of a gladiator who continues fighting only to be alive
The tale begins when a slave is forced to fight in the small local arena. The slave (main character) earns fame in the arena and is bought by a showman and taken to the city of prosperity, Rome, to fight as a gladiator. The strength of the hero who continues fighting to gain freedom catches aristocrats' eyes, and the stage of fighting moves into the symbol of imperial Roma, the greatest arena "Colosseum..."
While citizens are excited by the violent and desperate struggle performed in the Colosseum, the reverse-side of Rome is infested with aristocrats' intrigue and tricks. What is waiting for the gladiator, after surviving the battle in the end?

NCS Game Notes
* New features in the Remix edition of Gladiator include a larger number of fighters, new fighting skills, and more weapons to use.
* The intro to the game shows a gladiator getting ready and entering a cheering arena before knocking a blue diapered opponent out with the side of his shield.
* Upon starting the game, the gravelly voiced interviewer addresses you as "Dead Man" and gathers your information which he scribbles down on a piece of parchment. You're soon brought to a slave area along with fellow slaves whereupon an old owner tells the slaves that they'll soon enter the arena as fighters.
* The first fight is betwen you and an a fellow slave. Although weapons are on the floor, the opponent doesn't pick up a weapon at first, making him easy game. After slaughtering the slave, the hero goes back into his cell. Subsequent slave battles show that the other slaves aren't very smart and will occasionally strike at air or just stand there whlie they're hacked to death. Opponents are progressively more aggressive as the game continues.
* After a while, Magerius purchases you and takes you to his training camp. There are training exercises which teach the various blows and side blows that one may use. Pressing and holding any attack button increases its level of power.
