I have searched far and wide, from Google all the way to Apple. But I have not found trial versions for these games on the Mac. Age of Empires II (Conquers Expansion) and Rise of Nations.

I have tried playing them via Fusion, but they all get stuck at one point in the game and I have to hard reset my new Al MacBook to get everything back on track.

Apple's site links are broken (when I tried them at least) and using Google takes me to MS' site.

Help greatly appreciated by providing links to these great games.

I know full well there is no Mac trial for AoE2. The original AoE on OS9, yes. But I had to buy my copy of AoE2 trusting it was a good game.

You can torrent full versions of both, just head over to the pirate bay.

You can shoplift a copy too, just head over to the nearest store. 🙄

I don't want pirate copies. Hate those. Even though they are free, sometimes the quality is compromised.

Also, buying the actual software is much more secure in my opinion.

No trial for AoE2? Darn....
