Voting for this release was simple, the original (and Gold Edition) is not available for sale anywhere else at the moment having a DRM-Free copy of this would be wonderful, for the sake of preservation and ease of purchase. As for memories I had playing this game, the time period stands out to me, as well as the wonderful implementation of the games physics engine. The asymmetric civ design was also new to the AOE franchise at the time and a fantastic addition to the game.
I remember watching my friend playing this game at his house. I remember the awesome music. The atmosphere and the funny physics of destruction. I know that the Definitive Edition was made, but it changed a lot of what the original game was. I think that the original should be preserved and be available for easy purchase.
I remember fondly playing this version of the game, sadly lost the disc ages ago. Another advantage of this version is that it doesn't occupy half of your hard drive space like the Definitive Edition lol.
Those games also need your vote!
Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
The Lord of the Rings: The Third AgeThe Lord of the Rings:The Third Age introduces entirely new characters which aren't mentioned in the books or movies. The game does relate to the movies by including scenes from all three movies, with new background speech by Ian McKellen (Gandalf). There are seven playable characters in the game which have been created specifically for it, as well a small appearances by characters such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Eowyn, Faramir, and Gothmog. The game covers events in all three movies/books, mostly with references to major events shown through cut scenes, or the scenes from the movies with Ian McKellan's narration. A classic RPG game, The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age has gameplay elements similar to Final Fantasy, where you have a party of characters, each with a different set of skills and attributes, who gain levels, making them stronger as the game progresses. Battles are turn-based, and let the gamer make different decisions on what they want to do to change the outcome of the battle. The game travels through many areas throughout Tolkien's Middle Earth, including The Pelennor Fields and Moria.
