The first Age of Empires holds up better than people give it credit for... it's just overshadowed by its sequel.
Meu segundo RTS, e um dos jogos q mais joguei qnd mlk.
e=mc2 trooper
This game literally changed my life and for that I'll always love it, despite knowing its sequel is more famous and a better game.
Lost the CD :(
wololooooo
I played this game only as a child for 3 years straight. The random skirmish mode just had so much gameplay in it.
My great-grandmother got me Age of Empires: Gold Edition for PC as a gift when I was about five or six. What a legendary, based, god-tier gift for a grandma to buy.
I was always too scared to play the actual campaigns and just stuck to the foraging ones. My little buff and tanned, blue-pants builder men would always get steam-rolled by some red iron age guy on a horse whenever I tried to get out of my comfort zone. Nothing spamming the words "Big Daddy", "Photon Man", or "E=MC2 Trooper" into the chat couldn't solve though.
The best part of this game was the Scenario Builder. Me and my friend enjoyed just filling the map with an obscene amount of units and making our own sound effects as the two digital armies marched in to their meat-grinder.
WOLOLOOOOOO

Clasicazo de estrategia super divertido.
Played this as a kid. Beautiful music and fun to build up your civilization. The sound of an enemy priest will strike the fear of god in you, literally. My dad also used to enjoy the game as a history buff. There were a few cheat codes that would give you a missile launching sports car and things like that - fun times.
wololo
Sinceramente, esperava bem mais. Queria um jogo que eu me sentisse livre pra evoluir até o talo, enquanto também presenciava a história acontecendo no meu reino. Só que essas duas coisas não foram possíveis ao mesmo tempo.
O jogo tem as campanhas, mas sempre que eu cumpria as tarefas que ele me passava, simplesmente, toda a minha vila era jogada no lixo. Ai eu passava pra outra fase que tinha outros objetivos, com outra parte da história e sem a vila que tinha criado.
Até tem o modo personalizado que me deixou evoluir da forma como eu queria, mas isso só até virem os inimigos, que me trucidaram, destruíram tudo e ainda comeram as nossas mulheres. Isso aconteceu na dificuldade normal, então eu abaixei pra "moderado" e mais uma vez nossos corpos acordaram com formigas.
O inimigos evoluem com uma velocidade incrível, quando você começa a construir seu cafofo, eles já aparecem com ak47 e cavalos blindados.
Já o multiplayer, se for com os amigos pode ser legal.

Technically, I invented MOBAs when I played this game as a kid for I marked one of the villagers as being the unaging mortal witness to all the events in history and so every game in the campaign was kind of about conquering or whatever, but also mostly about protecting that one guy because he had to see the history but he couldn't like be in the fight because that's too risky and stuff. So, you're welcome, icefrog.
One of the first Strategy Games I played still like it today.
Excellent game mechanics for the era it was released. Plus the cheats were always fun.
Campaign was a little boring.

This will date me a bit but I got my first PC in high school and this game was bundled up with it.
Full disclosure: I'm not sure if this is a fair score to give it because I've hardly played any other RTS games due to being utterly hopeless at them. Nevertheless, I know I enjoyed my time playing the game; the campaign mode was great, featuring interesting maps and varied objectives, and the core gameplay was quite easy to get into even for an RTS novice like myself. Some minus points would be the lack of anything really distinctive that sets the civilizations apart from each other, and some instances of 'cheating' AI (enemy archers are able to shoot at you while walking away from you, something that a human player doesn't seem to be able to do!)

The beginning of the (two game long) legend.
lo siento tio pero no me gustan estos juegos :(
Played this game for hours on my grandfather's computer as a kid. I still remember all the cheats.
Really good RTS game, set the stage for many others to come, like Age of Empires II, which is one of my favorites.
Me lo grabó pirata un compañero de colegio, que le llamaba "agin conpains", o algo así.
legal e tal mas né
Eu nao entendia nada mas era daora
wololo
Good start to the franchise, but as soon as AoE2 dropped it immediately became irrelevant.
Age of Empires (1997): Tiene problemas de balanceo, los combates no pasan de simples escaramuzas y los menús de tecnología son poco intuitivos, pero sigue siendo un juegazo que sentó las bases de la obra maestra que vendría después. La estrategia le debe mucho a este juego (8,40)
During my Bionicle script writer era I'd, on the sides, do scrip writing on this game. I love it for that

Playing this game with friends was just amazing for weekends.
