In a one-square-mile area in the United States, evidence has shown that there have been 12,000 years of continuous human habitation. From Native American, to the first European expedition (de Soto), and first backcountry fort and settlement. In this same area, there were battles of both the American Revolution and the American Civil War. This game/simulation recreates the objects and terrain of this history. You are a time gamer. Until now, time gamers were just explorers. The only thing they could bring back from a parallel universe were the memories of their experience. But new methods and technology will allow you to bring back specially designed devices from the future. Your combined universes have been selected so that such a future device may be found. Specifically, you will need to find a DNA sniffer which will allow you to sample and bring back the DNA of extinct life forms. If successful in your mission, these samples will be used to map the DNA history of Earth. This mapping will allow scientists to build and clone the animals of the future.. animals that will be able to survive the growing challenges of our planet.
