I played that on my PowerPC Mac. It's a shame it hasn't been updated to run on Intel, for that matter. You could run it in Snow Leopard under emulation but Apple saw to that not being an option unless you want to stay with Snow Leopard forever....
I wouldn't say NOBODY wants but yes the current trend is a multiuse device. So if companies like Nintendo want to attract buyers they need to make their own hardware something that is way better than those multiuse phones etc. and no it doesn't hurt of they put some of the old simpler versions of their stuff on those devices to tempt folks.
I was thinking the same thing! I have it on my MBA and play all the time, but this would be so much more convenient.

I think I just creamed!

Awww... totally killed my buzz.
I don't even need all the Super Mario Bros. just the pre 'super' games and the first three from the Super set would make me happy.
I wouldn't mind some of the old PC games like Kings Quest. And get up to speed on Myst (still only on the iPhone), Riven, 7th Guest and 11th Hour. Not to mention games like Portal.
I'd kill for access to the entire Sierra and Lucasarts adventure catalog on the iPad. ScummVM was the major reason I jailbroke in the first place, and it's the one thing I miss after moving back to Apple Approved Land.
Oh, and the Tex Murphy games. Holy crap, that'd be awesome. This needs to happen.
As for Myst, they do have an excellent port of RealMyst for the iPad, which I personally believe is the superior version of the game.
i <3 AoE
This sounds awesome.
buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut they currently have 4 offerings, and nowhere does it say which one we'll be getting. as much as I love the whole franchise, I really only want AoE II, and kinda AoE III. and their fourth offering is AoE Online. I have this weird feeling that Microsoft assumes they can say "AoE is coming to iOS!" and that everyone will think they're talking about their latest offering, not the one we all want, which I'm pretty sure is AoE II
still got my fingers crossed.

i dont see how AOE can translate to the tablet while remaining true to the pc versions...
but thats just me
but thats just me
How about MS Train Simulator for iPad?
I'd suck a d**k for that. That's what my ex gf used to say. She was trashy.
P.S. Damn i miss her. I might call her. Hope she got out of jail.
Laughed so hard at this. Well as hard as I could as to not draw the attention of my wife. Upvote +999.

It has been updated for Intel. Although MacSoft had to totally rewrite the game to do it, so they charged $5 for the patch. Unfortunately they don't have the rights anymore so you can't buy it, but if you do some googling...
AoE Please (Wood Please). Love II. Was meh for III.!!!!
But for the love of god they have to nail the controls. It'll be critical.

AoE is one of the best classic RTS games. Doesn't matter if it's Microsoft or not, it was fun back in the day.
