Just because a newer version of a game of the same series works deffinately doesnt mean an older one will. Remember games moe than about 5 years old can be kind of hit an miss with Vista. I can verify that AoE 2 works just fine. I dont know about Age of Mythology though. Remember to always try the Windows Compatability setting if your having issue with a game on Vista.

Actually, it can be the other way around. An older version may work and a newer may not. A newer version may work, and an old one wont. For example, Diablo 1 installed and booted up perfectly right off the bat with no problems. Diablo 2, on the other hand wouldn't work on Vista 64-bit unless I applied a patch. It depends.

True, but then again neither one was designed for vista, or xp for that matter... so again its hit and miss.

Pretty sure I had Age of Mythology running on Vista at one time. I could be wrong, maybe I had XP, but I'm pretty sure I've had it installed and running on Vista. Vista 32 bit, but don't know if it would make a difference on 64 bit or not.
