As quite a few people seem to be interested in the "Greek life style", I thought of presenting you a MMORPG, called "Greek-age". It is the latest level (the 4th) of an older game, called "Human-age", which gradually passes you from the cave-man status to the modern society (more levels are yet to be added). So far, the Stone Age is followed by the Celt, the Egyptian and now the Greek Age.
The Greek Age has the advantage that you can join the game at this level. I had to evolve from an age to another (I'm not sure if joining in directly grants players the same status as the evolved ones...).
It's a text-based game where you must feed your character, take care of a pet, furnish your home, improve your skills, hunt, and even go to war. You get some quests that allow you to evolve, and many other activities you can fulfil as long as your energy level allows it.
The game can be played at http://www.greek-age.com/
There, you can take a guided tour and see if you like the game before actually creating an account (which is free). You can also take a peek at the very first age of the game, and start from there.
Any of you already playing "Human Age" or "Greek Age"?

Hi stvasile, of course I have to respond as you have been kind enough to put something into the 'Greek Life Style' interest. However I seem to think you could be referring to some kind of computer game which would naturally leave me exiting the building with horror, or to put another way 'It's all Greek to me'. However it is reminiscent in the way you describe it of a much loved scene of mine from a TV programme where the man, considering whether he was ready for fatherhood, experimented by looking a after 'a baby' for the weekend. A bag of flour represented said baby and had to be petted and fed at regular intervals. Instead its outer body was ripped open by a dog before being left to burn in front of the open fire.

Yes, it is a computer game, indeed.
It's a kind of game you have to play on the Internet and you have a limited number of actions per day, so it only takes about 15 minutes daily.
MMORPG means Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Play Game 
It is somewhat similar to what you describe - you do have to take care of your character.
