Help! Can't remember a title of an early CD-Rom game where you fought through the ages and into the future.

It was a really early CD-Rom game, probably 1993ish. You started off in the stone ages using sticks and rocks, fighting off bad guys and solving puzzles, and you’d move through time using the weapons of that era.
