this was the second game I ever played, after playing Doom with my dad on his old laptop when I was 4 or something xD. I played them all. AoE II was my favourite, followed by AoE. didn't really like number 3 or mythology. Timeless game. I'll never forget it.
@MajBlood I don't know, I just love it. Its fascinating to imagine how people traveled in those days, how wars were fought, how society struggled to be one.
@brickman409 That means you had the Gold Edition, like me :( Also, thanks for uploading this song, I first found it on an ancient midi website in the 90's listed under "Dagger" but could never find the game it was from.
If I could revert time, keeping my present memories, I'd fix so damn many mistakes... Playing this game however, is not on the list (even though it's partly thanks to it that I'm as lifeless as I'm today, But being one, who played a classic like this kind of honors me...
@qystein WOW..good to hear that..must say this game also fueled my loe for history..though its not my subject but most of the time i spend am online i look up historic things...
The first game of Ensemble Studios was AoE... The best game of strategy, tactics, logical, micro-control, macro-control, and more things that i'll not count.
I remember the day when Microsoft put a free copy of Age of Empires into every single packet of Nutri-grain. They should be doing that with Generals 2 next!
@MajBlood Now I prefer to read/learn/write about history from 1850+. But ancient history triggered my interest for history in general, and that started with this very game! :)
I feel for you bro, having a top comment absolutely rapes your inbox. I commented on a Mac advert and got replies for a whole year, then the next top comment was somebody saying 'I can get top comment by replying to ScottWired' =P
@Miryr Haha I'll give you that one. The single player was very disappointing in AOE3, they went for that lame Fountain of Youth stuff, and the levels themselves were not very fun. Too bad when so many interesting historical events happened like the Seven Years War, American Revolutionary Wars, and Napoleonic Wars.
@qystein Even this game is not enough to change my opinion on history. I am just not interested in it. I have a facetious saying to not learning about the past = repeating it: "if it repeats, atleast it'll happen now instead of before". Not very good at choosing words there but the point stands well enough.

My AOE fettish started when I bought a nutri-grain box back in 2000 when I was 2 years old and they put an AOE 1 disk inside
Best ninja ad campaign for NutriGrain bars ever.
One of the best songs in the entire series' soundtrack. Dat opening.
Man I loved the shit out of this game back in the day. Hell, I still got the disk from back then. RTS in the 90s man just awesome times.
For 3 and a half minutes, I forgot all about my present life and just floated through a sea of memories.

My first PC game was AoM, and it is still my favourite out of all Microsoft Strategy games.
This game has one of the best soundtracks ever made. Especially this song
Oh man..... childhood memories right here.
omg omg it's been sooo long since i heard this!! old memories :) this was my first strategy game aoe forever :D !!!!1

This brings back fond memories.
Nostalgia. Love old times ):

I just remember hearing 'wololo' and crapping my pants.
@qystein WOW..good to hear that..must say this game also fueled my loe for history..though its not my subject but most of the time i spend am online i look up historic things...
Best RTS ever!
@qystein dude... same here... aoe made me become interested in history!
so many memories...
The first game of Ensemble Studios was AoE...
The best game of strategy, tactics, logical, micro-control, macro-control, and more things that i'll not count.
Still my fav game of them all they made!
My first pc game soooooo epic hearing theme again
This is what nostalgia sounds like.
@DutchAssassinS
This was pretty much everyone's gate to RTS games.
@qystein wow thats awesome mate!
this game, and aoe 2 and 3, are the reasons why i have an A at history class... :)
this game like so many other ppl got me more intrested in history
@jlawton22
Its not gone.. Its still alive in every gamers heart!!!
Say what you want, AoE will ever be the first one, and i will remember for ever =)
That's my childhood right there
Best game ever made!!!
Age of Empires is my childhood.
oh wow best memories ever. got this out of a nutri grain box!
Memories :')
This game came with my box of nutri grain, I played it at the age of 11 with my bowl of nutri grain and exploded with enjoyment.
Good times.
they should make age of empires now! for ps3 and xbox it'll be so much fun!
BIGDADDY! XD Epic tune!!
In an expansion pack or just buying the gold edition then you gain access to some asian civilizations.
@qystein I like that explanation. Congrats. :)
I never heard this before. Curse of the gold editions.
I remember the day when Microsoft put a free copy of Age of Empires into every single packet of Nutri-grain. They should be doing that with Generals 2 next!
I wonder if there's an untapped music genre like this?
I've been looking for one for years, unable to find it sadly
I hear this song..and I see my 3 villagers standing there next to the town center. Get to work, we got empires to destroy!
This game is the main reason why im taking a masters degree in history tooday :)
@MajBlood Now I prefer to read/learn/write about history from 1850+. But ancient history triggered my interest for history in general, and that started with this very game! :)
What age ? My, it was 5. One of the best strategy game I ever seen.

@KillerGuitar007 They used to make good games. Now they've put everything into consoles.
BIGDADDY
Where do the days go...?
"Soon after"? Ensemble Studios was from MS since aoe1...
me too
BIG DADDY!
@Miryr Haha I'll give you that one. The single player was very disappointing in AOE3, they went for that lame Fountain of Youth stuff, and the levels themselves were not very fun. Too bad when so many interesting historical events happened like the Seven Years War, American Revolutionary Wars, and Napoleonic Wars.
I wonder this soundtrack is only found on the 1.0 version of the game
And then in Age of Empires online they butchered the new theme :(
@TheKiranj SAME!!!!
@canadaislive lol exactly.
@qystein It's exactly the same for me.
ah ok im sorry i didnt see that
same here
@KillerGuitar007 They don't. Ensemble made this game :)
Was that a good game, cause i may buy it.
@battlexbadalex damd i said this to my friend 10 seconds ago !!! :D epic
Wololoooo.
@MrMorrison446 mine to even through i was 7 when i got it and it says 11+
@spectraldistortion Cool, and why do prefer ancient history?
Enesamble studios
1.MRZortoz is right and 2. because of fucking microsoft we will never see an AoE again...
@qystein Even this game is not enough to change my opinion on history. I am just not interested in it. I have a facetious saying to not learning about the past = repeating it: "if it repeats, atleast it'll happen now instead of before".

What's the name of the track? Can I get a good mp3 version?
