Age of Empires. I cant really remember if my first Real-Time-Strategie Game AoE was or Civilaziaton or Caesar. But what ever it was now i've played AoE alot in my early Years and i've loved it. The different Cultures, their Background Stories and Informations, that Game was or is an 10/10 for me forever. Just pity it was that i've never had the Expension "Rise of Rome" for my Main Game. But still im loving it and yes i already got it somewhere else but as i've said in now a few other Comments in here to other Dreamgames i like to have on GOG, im since awhile now an huge GOG Fanboy and i want all my Games on one Plattform even if it means i gotta have to buy a few Games a second Time but GOG is my Plattform to be on. POINT! So and the Reason why i've write an Comment on the Definitive Edition and not on the Original Version is because in the DE-Version i got better Graphics and Ultra-Wide Support. The only Things what i dislike on the DE-Edition is, they've changed the Intro, the Main Menue, the Music and some Overlays especially in the Menue Sections. But still i would prefer today the DE-Version more as the Original even if i had voted for both Versions here on the Dreamlist. So hopefully Microsoft will get reasonable some Day and offer their Games here on GOG too. I would highly appreciate it.
Those games also need your vote!

Some changes have been made to the standard Metal Gear formula: the player is now unable to move or shoot while laying down and while pinned to a wall, making Peace Walker the first game since Metal Gear to lack any crawling ability.
