That would be welcomed i can't find the first one anywhere short of buying a used physical copy of it which probably won't work on modern OS anyway.

sherringon456

Yes please or at least a HD edition on steam like aoe 2.

ohkcrlho

Please.....We want ALL Age of Empires games.
Thanks

DarthLazze

It's still available in the Ubisoft collection, with AOE 1 + xp and AOE 2 + xp. It The first game seems to run better on modern systems than the second one. But thanks to Microsoft, we have the HD edition now.

Alejandro

Would be great to have it for Mac OS!!

KosanavianJarl

a good price would be 15.99 since it won't attract a large group but the demand is stil there and people are willing to pay the price at any cost at least that's the general concensus I can see from many onlien threads. maybe short term keep the download up for 1 year and see what happens

KosanavianJarl

They need to bring back AOE 1 and ROR for pc on GOG since stema has been neglecting to bring it back the demand around seeems to be growing i think it's time for a rerelease, my fear is that microsoft exclusivley owns the rights and for some strange reason refuses to re release the game, it's definetly time

Sir.Braka

yeah the original !

schiffmeister

The Original. :)

truffula3

Add this game as well as AOE 2 and Expansion!

j55h69

Love the victory tune.

DevilTyphoon

Please! This Awesome Game! PLEASE GOG!

Vranken

Please. Guys. Cmon. Please. Get that game on GOG.



Also, Wololo.

Kristalia

Would love a OSX version. This was the first computer game I ever got and is still a fav when I can get it to work on an old rundown barely working latop. I'd love to play it on my new Mac

A very nice game, though a bit clunky in some ways. Instead of the direction MS took the series, this original needed an overhaul along lines of AoE II, Age of Kings: automated food production, higher population limits, better fortifications, less insane catapults, more civilizations, more unit selections. Still, this game has a classic Windows 95 charm (remember when BestBuy / CompUSA had row after row after row of computer games??) with numerous small publisher producing creative games, and usually sterile Microsoft amazingly caught that wave with this game. The programmers for games like this had to be really skilled to produce really cool games like Age of Empires to run on systems with 4 or 8 MB or RAM, 2 GB hard drives, and 133 MHz processors. Modern game programmers slop endless lines of code to hog all the bandwidth and suck all the processing power / RAM to produce explosions, sick rapists, and rivers of blood without a creative brain cell in their craniums. Contrast that to this original AoE, small, simple, hugely enjoyable, and highly competitive.

gamesfreak64

Awesome good old game, I bought it the minute it came out, quite costly too: 129 bucks (dutch guilders back then)
very nice game
AOE2 was aslo nice, the latter 3d versions are nothing compared to the old style AOE.

slick101

Hi guys! I totally agree! It would be awesome to have that game (especially on Mac OS)! Please, make this empic strategy available on GOG.

Neselas

This is a must. The franchise has been long dead and deserves a proper GOG revival.

Can we also get the scenarios that were exclusive for the demo plz?
There was a Hittite scenario in the demo for Age of Empires and there was a Carthaginian scenario for the expansion pack Rise of Rome. I have the demo's and the full games, but i can't play them on this machine... Virtual Box at best gets me a small window in which to play and then it freezes....

XDanski

One of the first games I ever played but the CD is long gone now- would love to play again GOG pls!

Crusism

Dear GoG, I will make love to this website forever and throw all my money if you add this game to your current collection of good old games~! Please Please Please.

RaginRondo

So who must we send our priests to, en masse, to convert in order to make them bring AoE to GOG? Wololo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IgAVQdHJQ4

brsox2445

One of my favorite games growing up. I'm very disappointed that AOE isn't on GOG.

Come on guys, let's respond to the demand!

lemming07

Played it back in late 90s and it truly is an innovative RTS gem along with Command & Conquer. Don't think MS will put the series here before it happens on Steam but I would really like to play it once more (don't have the physical copy anymore).

kissmykandi

I really want a nice legal download of this game. I don't want to have to resort to using a CD and virtual PC. As soon as it goes up for sale I'll purchase it!

DoctorDrummer

So much memories i remember from this game. Add Pl0x

Inferno986return

Another vote, while AoEII is available on Steam and runs pretty darn well (even though they change the water texture, resource icons and removed LAN play) we don't have Age of Empires available anywhere. I would happily replay this classic if placed on GOG.

cameroncr95

I still own the disc versions, but would like a GOG version too.

LovingLife139

Age of Empires and Age of Empires II are both games that I own the CD versions of AND would still buy here to support the DRM-free versions on GOG. The games are timeless and would be a magnificent addition here.

DiogoStuart

Age of Empires 2 running on mac with full network compatibility, please release it on GOG.

Oubadah

This would be a really great game to get on GOG. It's the only game I haven't been able to crack, so I always have to have a virtual drive for it.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard for GOG to get hold of - I mean, they were literally giving AOE away with breakfast cereal years ago already.

HOWEVER, the game must include and be able to play it's original music, not just the low quality midi versions. This is a problem with several re-released versions of AOE that are available (the single DVD package ones like the so called 'Collector's Edition' marketed by Ubisoft): they don't include the proper music files. This is absolutely useless.

AOE needs it's full quality music tracks, and it needs to be re coded to be able to play them as by default they are traditional CDA files played off the CD like a standard music CD.

ermacsoulstealer

Please add it!!! I've never had an original copy of the game because its impossible to find where I live. Only way I could get it is through shipping from another country but that would cost me big time! it would be a dream come true. Please GOG add it! I would buy it right away!

mjones687

I'd like to have Age of Empires 1 + Rise of Rome Expansion AND the original music not the midis

mccollumkyle92

I would like to see specifically AOE 2 with the expansion pack on here, and AOE 3 with its expansion pack on here. I would definitely buy them, GOG!!!!

Shotpun

I am, like, the only person ever who owns all 3 discs, plus expansions for the first and third games. And I feel for everyone else.

DOTHISGOG.

falconexe

Another vote from me.

I have the digital copies of AOE 2 and 3, but I can't find a legit digital copy of Age of Empires 1 anywhere. I could buy the whole physical set off of Amazon, but I'd rather not try to make an old XP CD game work with W764x if I don't have to. That is what GOG is for!

Please help us out GOG...Thanks in advance!

Tomakaze

Got the gold pack with both AoE 1 and 2. Funnily enough I played 2 first and tried out 1 later and loved them both. Gotta have my elephants

MarkTheMorose

+1. I'd buy it if it came out on GOG.

RouHim

Pleeeeeeeeeeaase add this game. Love it.

Shotpun

WHY IS THIS NOT?

This game's first installment hit shelves in 1999, making it perfect for the GoG market. Seeing as to how it had a stellar custom game composition and yet still had a manageable campaign (rare in RTS games) it shouldn't not be in GoG's library. Damn Microsoft...

My last comment, sep 2012, its now October 2013, still waiting!

Sulticune

One of the most enjoyable RTS games ever! Please release this plus expansions :)

MAPBill

Definitely a Good Old Game!

sixtyby3

Probably the first RTS game I ever played.

sixtyby3

Hope this one comes out. It was pretty awesome. I still see this game bundled with AoE 2 selling for a pretty low price at brick and mortar stores, but since i don't have a optical disc drive, never had a reason to pick one of those up.

Hoping Microsoft allows GOG to distribute this. Really great game.
