Developed by [[Ensemble Studios]] and published by [[Microsoft]], the game uses the Genie, a 2D sprite-based game engine. The game allows the user to act as the leader of an ancient civilization by advancing it through four ages, (Stone Age, Tool Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age) gaining access to new and improved units with each advance. | ||
Originally touted as [[Civilization]] meets [[Warcraft]], some reviewers felt that the game failed to live up to these expectations when it was released.

A compilation of the original Age of Empires and its expansion was later released as [[Age of Empires: Gold Edition]]. | Originally touted as [[Civilization]] meets [[Warcraft]], some reviewers felt that the game failed to live up to these expectations when it was released.
