Is the first version of the game worth going back to?

This is a new version.

Are you thinking of sequels as versions?

No it is not.

You mean version because it is a new version of AoE I.

It is. Remastered. It's the latest version of the original.

Not at all this is like a digital remastering of an old film. This is still the original game with the original content. Just new art assets and a modern UI.

Exactly. It's the latest version of AoE1. There were many updates to the original and way more to the sequel.

Ah I see the confusion. You can ignore my original post.

They call that a version in software. Like AoE 2 a was followed by b and c. Then by the first HD.

Correct. I realized what happened. @Dashrender got me again with improper terminology.
Thus I posted a reply stating as much.

everyone but Scott got where I was going.
I am asking - for Scott - do I really care about playing AoE 1 when AoE 2 is out there, and we've been playing it as a group for ages

Yes, AoE 1 is a fantastic game with a good story and amazing game play. Rise of Rome had one of the best single player campaigns of any of the AoE series (and I'm including Age of Mythology). Well worth it if you haven't played it previously.

It's not a single player game. It's one of the most famous multiplayer games of all time.

I cannot play at all because it does not play on Linux.

Why would AoE 2 take away from AoE 1? Different game in a different setting. Since AoE 2 is a sequel, not a version or update, why wouldn't AoE1 being updated like AoE2 be awesome?
I clearly got where you were going since I'm the first one to mention it. The issue is, it doesn't make sense.
-
It's not quite as extreme, but you don't avoid Mass effect 1 just because mess effect 2 came out.

Then I'm not so sure. I probably won't be purchasing it, because I own it already and I never really got into the multiplayer portion of it. It really depends on the price.

AoE 1 is set in the big ancient empires. Greece, Rome, Persia. Rather than the Middle Ages.
