New AoE Demo
There's been some bug fixing with the Age of Empires demo. As we previously reported, the demo will not run unless your display supports 800X600 resolution (the full game will support 640X480). The new version of the demo will give you a less ubiquitous error message if your display doesn't support 800X600 or better. Right now you can only download it from MacSoft's ftp, but it will be up on the MGA ASAP.

Download: ftp://ftp.wizworks.com/macdemo/AoE_Trial.sit (16mb)
