Voting for this release was simple, the original (and Gold Edition) is not available for sale anywhere else at the moment having a DRM-Free copy of this would be wonderful, for the sake of preservation and ease of purchase. As for memories I had playing this game, the time period stands out to me, as well as the wonderful implementation of the games physics engine. The asymmetric civ design was also new to the AOE franchise at the time and a fantastic addition to the game.
I remember watching my friend playing this game at his house. I remember the awesome music. The atmosphere and the funny physics of destruction. I know that the Definitive Edition was made, but it changed a lot of what the original game was. I think that the original should be preserved and be available for easy purchase.
I remember fondly playing this version of the game, sadly lost the disc ages ago. Another advantage of this version is that it doesn't occupy half of your hard drive space like the Definitive Edition lol.

Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty
Dune II: The Building of a DynastyDune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed. The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.

Worms and Reinforcements: United
Worms and Reinforcements: UnitedAn absolutely engrossing game that was responsible for many sleepless nights back in the 90s is back to bring more sleepless nights now! What's there not to like about teams of 10 worms unleashing hell against each other on a fully destructible map using a wide arsenal of fun and imaginative weapons? The answer is "nothing". Especially if you are using the multiplayer option. The look on your buddy's face when your well-placed holy grenade sends a bunch of his best worm-soldiers to a better place is just priceless.
