Story:Age of Mythology is a real-time strategy game developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios. Drawing inspiration from Greek, Egyptian, and Norse mythology rather than historical events, it diverges from the Age of Empires series while sharing familiar gameplay elements. The campaign follows Arkantos, an Atlantean admiral embarking on a journey through the lands of the game's three cultures, hunting for a cyclops who is in league with Poseidon against Atlantis.Show more

One of the games that most lulled my childhood. As soon as I got out of school, I'd rush to the PC to play this incredible game. This game made me love mythology, because it's a veritable encyclopedia of Greek, Egyptian and Scandinavian mythology.
In short, why learn mythological history at school when you have this wonderful game? ahah^^
Probably one of my favorite games of all-time. Still have the manuals with the entire tech tree and the strategy guides. Worth preserving for the Fall of the Trident campaign alone. I do enjoy the Retold remake but the VO, the 2000s graphics, and the music still hold up.
This had one of the greatest campaigns in a strategy game ever. The game takes you from Greece to Egypt to Scandinavia in a plot to stop the titans from being released upon the world. The gameplay is stellar as well, with 3 unique civs (4 with the expansion) each with its own mechanics. Not quite as varied as Starcaft, but still good. Sadly I don't think Micros*ft will ever release this game DRM free.
I played this game for thousands of hours as a kid and recently got into Retold (the remake) with my dad and my friends. As a kid this game inspired me greatly, and made me interested in mythology and history (which led me to AOE3 later on). The reason why this game should be on GOG is simple; the game in its original form (+Titans expansion) is not available anywhere which makes this a top candidate for the preservation program by virtue of that alone.
Additionally, I would like to see the entire AOE franchise brought over here (including the newly released Definitive Editions for AOE1-3 and Age of Mythology Retold). If one of the goals for the revival of the Age of Empires franchise was to make sure they thrived for another decade+ then GOG and a DRM-free option would be a logical next step toward that.
At the point of writing this Microsoft Gaming has published one game on GOG so far and that is Psychonauts 2 (under the Xbox Game Studios Publishing label) I hope more things from their catalogue can show up here DRM-free with the AOE franchise (and more specifically AOM) in tow.
This (with the Titans Expansion) was a major part of my childhood! Definitely deserves preserving, even if Retold's been a wonderful remaster. Pleased to see it with so many votes!
A true classic game, I played the life out of this game for years. I love this game growing up and I love it now, and I want it preserved for every generation now and forevermore can enjoy this great game.
Made me interested in Mythology as a kid, actually experiencing an odyssey of Arkantos and his friends made it one of the most engaging pieces of media for me, and I wish they had made more content for it.
Age of Empires' fantasy brother. Getting to use and encounter mythical creatures was really refreshing to the whole AoE scene. And having all these different mythologies meeting on the field of battle was very much fun to see. I really need a GOG release so I can finally get a refresher on this game.
I'll probably remember one game against my cousin all my life: when I managed to find his proxy Longhouse with a pig instead of my scout. There's good/bad luck and then there's discovering a proxy production structure with a unit with ONE LOS.

Civilization II: Multiplayer Gold EditionCivilization II: Multiplayer Gold Edition was bundled both prior expansion packs and added options for networked and hotseat play, and features tweaked AI. All of the music tracks that were in the original release of Civilization II had been removed, however - only some of the "new" ones remained. The tweaked AI is also perpetually unfriendly, rendering most diplomatic functions useless.

The SettlersThe goal of this game is to build a prosperous and well organized city and to gain control of enemy cities. This might initially seem simple to do, but in reality it is much more complex. If you consider all the game's problems inversely, that is from the end of the game first, you will understand better.
In order to conquer the enemy castles, you will need many knights. To keep their morale up, you will need gold, and for the weapons you will need iron and coal. These raw materials are found in mines. The mines must be provided with food and the raw materials must be melted in a foundry.
The food supply is ensured by the fishermen and the farmers, but they need tools, as do all other workers. These tools are made by smiths. To build huts, houses, castles you will need construction materials and workers...Historical
