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.

Although the game has a different story, it still looks and plays more or less the same way as the first three Farland Story games. The game consists of strategic battles, during which you navigate your party members in turn-based mode over the map, attacking enemies when they are in range, and casting spells. Various type of terrain influences your attacks. For example, if you position your character on a square with a castle, his/her HP will be healed.
Farland Story: Kamigami no IsanThe sixth in the row on Farland Story games, "Kamigami no Isen" is set in a different world than the rest: a retro-style, Western-like environment with elements of sci-fi.

Grey decides to help the sister, and gets involved in a conspiracy he would never dream about.
Despite having a totally different story and setting, this Farland Story game still looks and plays more or less exactly the same as its predecessors. You have a party which you navigate on the screen in turn-based mode, assigning commands to it (such as "Move", "Heal", etc.) Some characters have special commands (like "Sneak" for Grey). Whenever you and the enemy attack each other, a short animated attack sequence is shown. You can use various types of terrain to your advantage (different for each character type). As in previous Farland Story games, you gain experience points directly after performing any action in a battle.

Farland StoryFarland Story is the first in the row of successful Japanese strategy RPG games released in 1993.
Farland Story consists entirely of battles (save cut scenes and the ability to shop if you are near a town after a battle). During battles, you move Arc and his party over the terrain, and attack when there are enemies in range. The party consists of different classes - knights attack with swords, archers specialize in long-ranged combat, priestesses heal, etc. Every attack leads to a counter-attack, from the enemy's side as well as from yours. You gain experience points for every attack, and can level up in the middle of a battle.Action Fantasy Warfare
Farland Story 2Farland Story 2 is an independent side-story to the Farland Story series (this game shouldn't be confused with Farland Story Denki: Arc Ou no Ensei, which is also known as "Farland Story 2"). The game is set in the same time line as the second and the third "mainstream" Farland Story games, 20 years after Arc has become a king. Peace has returned to the world, but on the continent of Ionia, an emperor is plotting an evil scheme. His son Riad refuses to accept the methods of his father, especially when he wants to use Serena, a girl he loves, for his plans of war and conquest. During a quarrel, Riad attacks the emperor's minister, and is forced to flee the castle together with Serena. The adventure of the runaway prince begins...
Graphically and gameplay-wise, the game is similar to other Farland Story games, although its setting is generally more dark. The game consists of large strategic battles, during which you move your party over the battle location, attacking enemies physically when they are in range of your weapons, and casting healing and offensive magic. Like in other Farland Story games, the death of the main character (Riad in this case) means instant Game Over.Fantasy
