Found this at Goodwill today.

5925

The game's contained on a Mitsui-brand CD-R with "Microsoft Confidential" printed on the label. Came in a generic CD case with a white label that reads "Age of Empires August 1997".

Now, according to Wikipedia, Age of Empires was released on October 15, 1997. So, seeing as how there's only about a two-month gap between the date on the disc and the games release date, am I safe to assume that this is a review copy and not a proto? Or am I way off base here?

Unfortunately I don't have a Windows PC available to me, so I'm unable to attempt an install.

Looks more like a test build aka prototype.
