Age of Empires 2 Intro (Uncut Version)

[genrytov]

this is one of the best games ever and one of the most enticing intros as well, but I would like to know if there is a way to skip all the intros at the beginning of Age of Empires 2 The Conquerors. Sometimes it gets annoying =S

[SuperNuckingFuts]

This and Warcraft 2 best RTS ever made IMO

[blizzard424]

Just started playing this again with my friends, one of the best RTS games out there.

[the4thdemension]

[FPSOWner]

[TheRagingTurnip]

No matter what, this is the best game ever. And it's even better than Starcraft.

[DjCasadron]

[Mariose123]

[Biankito]

[assoomg]

AoE 2 : Conquers version is one of my favorite games... damn age of empires fuckin rules

[Kennylol]

I cant understand why they dont make games like these anymore. In this time of era.

[Clint945]

@Kennylol

Because they're busy making far more money producing the same COD game over and over again.

Its sickening.

[JAUDIEL23]

[Hash1Empires]

This brings back the memories

[EloTheMan1]

And today the in-game graphics are better than yesterdays intro graphics, cant wait until tomorrows graphics ^^

[LordSab3awy]

I like how that in 2:29 the knight fall of the horse and the horse still running

[Witchking101]

I just got a nostalgia boner

[MegaTheman9999]

i love age of empires 2 dont like AOE3 as much

[clockwerk35]

the only game better than AOE 2 is AOE 3 really it improves more drastically than its predecessor in more ways than just history

[tominator400]

I just nostalgia'd all over the place

[Fabiolinks]

It's the BEST RTS EVER 

[Spherify]

Best PC game ever. Alot better than any SC2 shit

[vengefulnoob]

Intense game of chess. It led to a war.

So then Kasparov beating Big Blue should have led to... terminator?

[TheSquizzlet]

You know, when you get deep into it, you gotta ask yourself... Which is really happening, the game of chess or the battle?

One of the best game intros ever.

[zhangliubao]

am i wrong, i think it's the same version just like my limited edition.

[Dar3dmag3]

HOLY SHIT

Seriously, thank you for uploading this! Thank you!

[SnowfireGames]

DON'T DROP THE KING!!!!! XD

[lcjj7]

I always thought this was really well animated. Damn, why did I watch this

[bobzera100]

best game ever

[MREVYLPIE]

So many amazing ways to caption this intro. xD I still play this game occaisionally. It's still in my little eight-year-old heart.

[spraypainter1337]

hmm chess... simple but not so... wait? dude what? AWESOME!

[dman19851996]

Oblivion reminds me a lot of this trailer. Espc guard at the end.

[TheEmperorNothing]

They don't make games like this anymore :(

[Dullahan111]

Did one of the guy screamed "Tabarnak" at 2:06? (It's french-canadian swear word)

[flogggerskissssss]

link???

[exiledoz]

Did you see the king's face at 1:38, he like "OMG I lost a pawn! I'll never win now"

[tau434]

@exiledoz If my pawn was a trebuchet...I'd be thinking the exact same thing. :)

[DealerCamel]

I remember when this game first came out, and this intro was about the coolest thing ever...

[vioperluismetal]

why do you think AOE2 is better than AOE3?, i just want your opinion please, I like AOE2 and I also like AOE3

[legokid5872]

AOE2 is better than AOE3 i dunno why but it just seems more interesting

[acemace3618]

@legokid5872 it sure is

[Sotospithisful]

Thumbs up if u still play this game in 2011 :)

[VolvenIV]

@Sotospithisful I'll probably still be playing AOE2 in 2012 lol

[GRENTHSNOOB]

@Sotospithisful I want to, but on Windows 7 the pixels are all screwed up and everything turns to weird pixels of pink blue and green.

[Cilatorc]

@GRENTHSNOOB I know how solve your problem. Send me a e-mail!

[Lashasmama]

[ZikicaKikica]

[NachoPaltamayo]

Best GAME!

[BillKillerz]

WTH ??!? Last time i checked those 2 kings we're looking so real ... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED ?

[mark1138]

dumbass doesn't have any guards for his trebuchet

[IGOR90511]

The best strategy game 4ever (for me)...

[peacefulwar2]

I love how they use sounds from the game in the intro.

[TurboMMaster]

1996-2002

The best time to be a gamer.

[10DegreesBelow]

@TurboMMaster More like 1996-2003, The Elder Scrolls Morrowind came out in 2003. Still have that title, love it almost as much as Skyrim.

[otester]

Remember getting this for christmas many years ago, still got the box somewhere in the attic.

Memories.

Wish they'd remake this with modern graphics and maybe a few extra more defining units for each country.

[Enyoiyourself]

I wear glasses and I blame this game for it. My father bought it for me, and I used to spend days and nights sit in front of my computer, just, playing, entire nights, with this game I first saw the sunrise. I miss this game, it's been ages since I don't play

[icalled911ucalled911]

If Age of Empires I is set from Stone Age to Iron Age (Classic game)

Age of Empires II is set from Dark Age to Imperial Age (Best gameplay)

Age of Empires III is set in the period between 1421 and 1850 (Best graphics)

Then doesn't that mean Age of Empires IV will be set from WWI to WWII (Modern)

And Age of Empires V will be set in the future? (New Starcraft)

[Theindiegamer2000]

@icalled911ucalled911 the name of the game is "Age of EMPIRES", today we have states, so, it won't work anymore.

[qaipak1]

It's been more than 11 years. But I still can't get over this game... The third ones sucks imo.

[XixinxiX]

i got this game from the library at the age of 4, this started my gaming career! i love this game!!!!!

[lior0000]

best game ever!!

[cookieyy]

@rocksoliddude1 I played for 6 hours and it never crashed once.

[NickWarlordGR]

12 years ago this intro made me want to learn how to play chess... ah so many memories!!

[Darkshines65]

@ThePokemoron ahahahahaha

[TheTimhardy]

aegis

lumberjack

robinhood

rockon

(some meat password)

and ofcourse.....HOW DO YOU TURN THIS ON

)))))))

[aikevich1996]

9gag

[Darkshines65]

Rogan?

[rocksoliddude1]

whoever programmed this was so retarded, this game crashes when you are in the middle of a game and you lose hours worth of game play. why cant they fucking programme these games properly are they stupid or what, this game is full of glitches

[Sox207rocks]

@rocksoliddude1 u realize this was made YEARS ago rite?

[rocksoliddude1]

@Sox207rocks yes but so was empire earth but that saves every 10 minutes, i try to get into the habit of saving this game ever 20-30minutes but sometimes i forget and lose 2-3 hours game-play, it's ridiculous the way it simply crashes for no reason.

[supermec131]

240p, we meet again.

[BadJokeHD]

another happy childhood memory :D

[IncapableLP]

ROGAN? YES!

[brondbylove]

The beauty of the two first Age of Empires intros almost brings a tear to my eye. That may sound tacky but it is a statement coming from deep inside. Those games' opening cinematics captured my child fascination of history, war, expansion, building of civilizations - and how we came to be who we are today.

[legendario987]

@brondbylove fuck yeah , thumbs up for this guy :D

[SleepNeed]

Oh wow, I still play AoE I and II (both with their respective expansions, never played 3) and I never skipped the intro videos, they were then and still now amazing to me.

The games are still fantastic fun, even after more than 10 years since I first played Age of Empires.

Thanks for uploading the uncut intro for AoE2, of which I didn't even know existed till now!

[tbondful]

@SleepNeed Hey if you still have AoE, do you want to play a game later?

[xTehTwist]

Best computer strategy game ever. nuff said.

[themixedarts]

Someone help please, recently when I started doing custom scenarios and when I select "test" it sais there's not enough free disk space, but I have 310GB of free disk space...

[bowflop]

i recently "bought" this along with spore at a local walmart.

i put quotes around bought because the old lady forgot to beep aote 2 XD

its not that bad of a game considering it can run on win 98

[Highretrogamelord89]

Best historical RTS ... EVER !!!

[Highretrogamelord89]

@Highretrogamelord89

That is if you don't count "The Conquerors", which made an outstanding game even more outstanding. ;D

[brokken2009]

This has to be one of the best strategy games ever.

[marcopolo5858]

I hate this ga-

WOLOLOLO

I love this game.

[piushr]

@marcopolo5858 haha nice one

[0Letten0]

[gliath888]

[FHNKnight]

For those of you that don't know, AoE did not end with the closing of the old zone in 2006. Thousands of players still enjoy this game daily at voobly.com. Come re-live the game you loved playing at this site.

I also ask that anyone who reads this gives it a thumbs up so that many more will be able to read this and be aware. Let's bring this masterpiece (fully) back to life!

[houstonkilla1]

@FHNKnight

Hi, I used to play back in the days when Zone was around. I tried to login into Voobly over a year ago to see who would respond. I used to play under the nick __JFK__. Some of the clans around at the time were TsC, NeXus, Storm, Digital, Hmong, Scarabeaus, Eagl3s, Eagle, etc...I'm asking if anyone see's this that used to play a couple years back to respond and let me know if ya are on Voobly, Gamespy, or ??? No noobs please, inters + and up... :)

[BaggysAnime]

[pwnedRabbit]

@TheAndrewMChannel Same with me. I'll never forget that game which was my first one on PC.

[chainz983]

my 5th grade teacher showed me this game in an after school program lmao... ironic how it was a chess program and the intro involved chess :P

[copymizer]

played this so much when i was little!

[judgeman090]

@copymizer haha same xD

[xxWhyIsTheRumGonexx]

Absolutely great game! All you need is a working computer and you'll be entertained for a very long time...

[ReboutZ]

[charlesdarwin55]

Is it wrong to get a boner from this?

[xDigitaLKaizokux]

@charlesdarwin55 No my friend. Such legendary games brings boners to many people

[pivotplayer321]

there should be age of empire 4... modern age where theres tanks 

[musiclover64491]

@pivotplayer321

I agree with the age of empire 4, but no modern stuff. This game is made to be set back years and years ago, it's what makes it special (:

[otto184]

240p we meet again!

[SuperGreatSphinx]

Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings (often shortened to AGE2, The Age of Kings, AoE II or AoK) is a real-time strategy (RTS) video game developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft. Released in 1999 for the Microsoft Windows and Macintosh operating systems, it was the second game in the Age of Empires series.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

An expansion, The Conquerors, was released in 2000. A PlayStation 2 version was released by Konami in 2001, and a Nintendo DS spinoff, Age of Empires: The Age of Kings was developed by Backbone Entertainment in 2006. The Dreamcast port, by Konami, was canceled.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

The Age of Kings is set in the Middle Ages and contains thirteen playable civilizations. They are the Britons, Byzantines, Celts, Goths, Teutons, Franks, Mongols, Chinese, Japanese, Persians, Saracens, Turks and the Vikings. Players aim to gather resources, which they use to build towns, create armies, and defeat their enemies. There are five historically-based campaigns, which constrict the player to specialized and story-backed conditions.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

There are three additional single player game modes, and multiplayer is supported. Despite using the same game engine and similar code to its predecessor, development of The Age of Kings took a year longer than expected, forcing Ensemble Studios to release Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome in 1998 instead. The design team focused on resolving significant issues in Age of Empires, but noted on release that some problems remained.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

Reception of The Age of Kings was overwhelmingly positive, and the game scored highly on review aggregators. The significant number of new features was praised, as were the gameplay improvements. Some reviewers were critical of the presentation of units—they were seen as bland and uninteresting—while others considered The Age of Kings to be overly similar to its predecessor, Age of Empires.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

Three months after its release, two million copies of The Age of Kings had been shipped, and it topped sales charts in seven countries. The game won multiple awards and has had a significant impact on future games in its genre.

[MrKriistian]

Best game of 2000 century and Transport Tycoon 1 is hectic awesome to.

[bboyb18]

Age of empires and Age of empires II both have great intro's not sure which one is better :o This one has to do with chess, so maybe this one :p

My favourite game of all time

[alienvspredator444]

Is it wrong to say that this intro was better?

[TheAlpeXi]

[polskagab]

epic trailer



[velvetolio]

I still get goosebumps at 2:16 when archers start to shoot :)

[henkarars]

They should re-made this game into something new. With same theme, same models and maps. Just improve graphic and the psysich animation of the fights and arrows.

[11fighters]

@Simo9951 Same here! Got all 3 games, plus the Mythology spin-off, and AOEII is where it's at. I still play it, to this day.

As I play the Conquerors (the add-on), I see a different video at the start, so it's fresh to see this video again after many years.

[TheWitchking123]

@Monstoday AOE 1,AOE 2 & AOM are the BEST strategy games in the world!! 8D...AOE3 SUCKS!!! XPP..I hope they create a new AOE game where it takes place back in the old ages!! *-*..Would be awesome! xD

[DirectorTurnerable]
