Age of Empires, abbreviated to AoE or AOE, is a history-based real-time strategy computer game released in 1997. Developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft, the game uses the Genie engine, the same 2D sprite based game engine used by Age of Kings and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. The game allows the user to play as the leader of a historical tribe or civilization from the Stone Age up until the Iron Age.
