DesertFOX<p>This sunday, I kept tinkering some more with 86Box and a few games for Windows 95. The most important game of that era ... at least for me .. is already working great! Here's "Age of Empires II" running on Windows 95.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/WindowsGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowsGaming</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AgeOfEmpires2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AgeOfEmpires2</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AOE2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AOE2</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Oldschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oldschool</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/86Box" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>86Box</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Emulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Emulation</span></a></p>

CuteFloor<p>The July 17, 1998 prototype of Age of Empires II offers a rare look at the game's early development. This pre-alpha build features a UI similar to the original Age of Empires, incomplete AI, missing animations, and an exclusive E3 scenario showcasing early promotional battles. It also includes cut features like the "Snow" terrain type, making it a fascinating artifact of RTS history.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzajyeJjFdk" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=CzajyeJjFdk</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AgeOfEmpires2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AgeOfEmpires2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AOE2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AOE2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RTS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GamingHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GamingHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Prototype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Prototype</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a></p>
Chis-R 🐟<p>It's the first day back at work after the Christmas break and for this evening I'm already thinking about which game to play of the several that I (re)started while I was on leave.</p><p>Option 1 - continue my latest Baldur's Gate run (BG1, not this fancy BG3 business) that I'm enjoying. Playing as a semi-evil Blade this time!<br>Option 2 - I picked up F1 Manager 2024 on sale for the Switch and I'm working my way through the season as a backmarker, which is way more fun than picking Red Bull and steamrolling my way to the podium every race. It's a shame that the Switch port seems to run a bit sluggish.<br>Option 3 - overcome my "ranked anxiety" and play an online game of Age of Empires 2 for the first time in a year or two, and not care too much about winning or losing.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gaming</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BaldursGate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BaldursGate</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/F1Manager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>F1Manager</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/aoe2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aoe2</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AgeOfEmpires2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AgeOfEmpires2</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NintendoSwitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NintendoSwitch</span></a></p>

allyngibson<p>This is a mosaic of I dunno how many overlapping screenshots of a game of <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ageofempires2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ageofempires2</span></a>, stitched together to create a vast overview of what my civilization (the Vikings) looked like in a late stage.</p><p>There was literally no need for almost everything you see here. Who needs that many farms? That many houses? The relics *and* the wonder?</p><p>I can justify the four universities, though. If you have the resources, build as many as you want, and set each researching different upgrades. Same reason there's multiple blacksmiths.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ScreenshotSaturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScreenshotSaturday</span></a></p>

В обучении развлекаюсь с монахами - подумал, что просто украсть у врага последнюю реликвию для победы - это скучно. Но и просто вырезать противника скучно. Решил построить и изучить вообще всё, что можно, а вражеских крестьян (оставшихся в живых после битвы с армией) обратить в свою веру и... отправить на лесоповал.</p>

Christian Mutig 👻🚫<p>When I was 15, I made a map for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AgeOfEmpires2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AgeOfEmpires2</span></a>. Somehow, this one map really took off and I became pretty famous for my map-making skills, despite my second map tanking. </p><p>But it really gained ground, when it was remade by one of the best map makers in the world, aMa. He once won a design contest and got his winning map pressed onto every physical copy of The Conquerors expansion. Later I translated the whole thing into English. </p><p>Wish I could find it in me to make a new one.</p>
Juhis<p>Hidden Cup 5 is coming!</p><p>I love this format. 8 players but nobody knows who is who as they are secretly assigned role names so as a player, you don't know who you are playing so you can't prepare for their style. As an audience member, you don't know so you can keep guessing and trying to figure it out.</p><p>And it's casted by the best Age of Empires 2 caster T90.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BQFOA4UBag" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=6BQFOA4UBa</span><span class="invisible">g</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/AgeOfEmpires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AgeOfEmpires</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/HiddenCup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HiddenCup</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/AoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AoE</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/AgeOfEmpires2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AgeOfEmpires2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/T90Official" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>T90Official</span></a></p>
Denman Rooke<p>Being able to rebuff an early rush in Age of Empires 2 and rebound into a successful counter attack is a great feeling. I feel like I'm starting to do a lot better in the macro management when taking on fights better than I used to.
