Age of Empires. I cant really remember if my first Real-Time-Strategie Game AoE was or Civilaziaton or Caesar. But what ever it was now i've played AoE alot in my early Years and i've loved it. The different Cultures, their Background Stories and Informations, that Game was or is an 10/10 for me forever. Just pity it was that i've never had the Expension "Rise of Rome" for my Main Game. But still im loving it and yes i already got it somewhere else but as i've said in now a few other Comments in here to other Dreamgames i like to have on GOG, im since awhile now an huge GOG Fanboy and i want all my Games on one Plattform even if it means i gotta have to buy a few Games a second Time but GOG is my Plattform to be on. POINT! So and the Reason why i've write an Comment on the Definitive Edition and not on the Original Version is because in the DE-Version i got better Graphics and Ultra-Wide Support. The only Things what i dislike on the DE-Edition is, they've changed the Intro, the Main Menue, the Music and some Overlays especially in the Menue Sections. But still i would prefer today the DE-Version more as the Original even if i had voted for both Versions here on the Dreamlist. So hopefully Microsoft will get reasonable some Day and offer their Games here on GOG too. I would highly appreciate it.
Those games also need your vote!

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
