Age of Rifles is an old game that is no longer published, it has become abandonware, but every site I've tried to download it from doesn't seem to work. I'm interested in playing it and I am wondering if anyone knows where I can get it.

I'm torn, because if I think it was remade I would die from sheer ecstasy.

Although depending on who did it. It might come with one battle and 150 DLCs.

If you don't want the box and the manual, please don't buy it. It will be another antique lost for collectors.

Strategic Wargames development suite.

Having researched the potential of the old game 'AGE OF RIFLES 2' and looked at the demand flow within the parameters of market penetration within a niche-core old-skool, segment section we have these conclusions for the board.

1. The game requires significant re-imaging. A top down 2d game is inconceivable. Its almost laughable that anyone would have even made it originally.

2. The idea of using the time frame 1846 - 1905 is intriguing. We have had some limited success with this period, from all the Pirates of the Caribbean media generation.
Therefore we believe we can utilise this time frame, but may need to game it up to say, 2245AD, to broaden market appeal.
The 1898 scenario will feature giant Zeppelins armed with poison gas and maxim style machine guns {but with laser sights}. The Sudan scenario will have players riding on fast camels..possibly robot ones?

3. Obviously this will be a FPS. But with cool 'old skool' uniforms. EG a 7th cavalry outfit {now renamed Custer's legions of Mars}. The range of weapons will include a basic 20 shot pistol, all the way up to a shoulder mounted mini death star.

4. To capture the original spirit of the title we believe that players should have a tactical planning screen before entering FPS mode. Naturally this will be full 3d, RTS. Players plot the various commands on the radar map and move units there to locations where they can obtain power ups. {There may well be scope to add a tower defence aspect to the game. Rorke's Drift is just made for this!}

5. All usual elements of our factory-line games will be available. Sniper's rifle. Medi- packs. All terrain vehicles, anti grav harness, health monitor, magic spells and so on.
But what will make this game really stand out in the crowded FPS/RTS market will be its follow the missile camera, Sunbursts , texture of the grass and 50 player hunt the flag death match mode.

We recommend the board approve this title.

Of course we'll have to apply the most complex and restrictive DRM scheme to it to protect our product against piracy.
