SugaGlider2018-05-290 point

Yeah just tried to download this game and it will not open the installation screen. Error claims to have a missing file for Mac OS. Its a shame it was my favorite game while growing up.

This game is really awsome man good job :)

SEGStriker2017-10-032 points

For those who can't run this: use old Mac with Mac Classic (up to 9.2.2) OS or MacOS X 10.4 with classic environment.
If not possible - use an emulator like Basilisk II (680x0, up to OS 8.1) or SheepShaver (PPC, up to OS 9.1).

Lontra2017-08-023 points

For those of you asking for an update: it is not possible.
This is a PPC application and will not run on Intel Macs that don't support Rosetta. So it can't be run on Lion and forward.

Steve2016-07-071 point

I've read that the windows version of this game won't work on W7 and newer - apparently it's the architecture of Windows that's changed too much

jas2016-07-06-6 points

When I double click on the updater, it says '..you must first locate the original Age of Empires II aplication on your hard disk.' Does anyone know how to get past this? Thanks

Ocean2016-06-30-2 points

Im having the same problem where i can not expand it

beef2015-06-081 point Mac version

sounds like is sucks. if i was going to get a disc, i'd get it from a legitimate source.
sorry to disspoint, but i am going to keep looking for a good download. plus, if you want to play this with a friend, you would have to get a PC, or go through more work.

Jurisdudence2015-05-23-6 points Mac version

What do I have to do to play this game?

Ando2015-04-272 points Mac version

Yeah this doesnt work - I tried using Stuffit and it wouldnt allow me to expand the file

zack2015-04-270 point Mac version

I'm having the same issue. I try to open with Stuffit and it won't let me save it anywhere. Also, I've gone and downloaded Sheepshaver, is that what I'll need to play this if it ever works?

Naco2015-04-182 points Mac version

When I try to open the file it says I 'don't have permission to access folder', even if it's my regular applications folder

dav_dub2015-03-161 point Mac version
