Age Of Empires Cheat Codes

There is one thing young gamers usually forget, and it's a pity to see it happening - while new games offer enough entertainment and challenges most of the time, there are some great games released in the past that worth your time for sure, if you were only a baby back in their early days. Age of Empires is one of those games, and despite being over a decade old, it's always as fresh as in the first day. Now, let's cut the talking and get to the Age of Empires cheat codes, because that's why we are here, right?

Contrary to what I usually say about cheats, I must admit there are some codes in Age of Empires that you MUST see. Why? The answer is simple - beyond being just ways to make your life easier and feel like shooting turkeys instead of being overrun by the AI if you're not doing things right and in a timely manner, the codes for Age of Empires include some really funny parts, as we're going to see right away...

If the above look pretty interesting, then you haven't seen the following Age of Empires cheat codes yet!

Reincarnation - highlight a member of the general populace and press Enter, followed by typing MEDUSA and march them off to peril. Villagers return as Black Riders, and Black Riders become heavy catapults
Soldier wields nuclear weapons - press Enter, and then type in: E=MC2 TROOPER
Soldier wields laser blaster - press Enter and type in: PHOTON MAN
Rocket launching car - after pressing Enter, type in: BIGDADDY

That's it for today, but don't worry - if you ever feel the need for more Age of Empires cheat codes, there are still a few games in the series remaining to mess with. Just one final advice - if you ever find some collector's edition with all the Age of Empires games in a package, don't think twice - just grab it! I just found such a package for another great game I was playing in late 1990s, and I can't describe the feeling - it's just like unearthing some buried treasure, but we'll talk about my latest find in the future - for now, just enjoy the Age of Empires cheat codes you got!
