Here's the description from the site:
"In case you aren’t familiar with Empire Earth, let’s give you the run down on it. Empire Earth: Gold Edition was the smash hit Real Time Strategy (RTS) game where you lead a civilization from the stone age into the space age and beyond, leading your people to victory while fighting a variety of rival civilizations. Gameplay is best described as a combination of the deliberation and planning of a turn-based civilization-building game with the action and adrenaline of classic RTS games. Empire Earth: Gold Edition also includes the expansion pack The Art of Conquest, and is widely recognised as a classic of the RTS genre. If you’re a fan of RTS games, or if you’d like to try one out, now is your best opportunity."
Empire Earth runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 (32 & 64 bit)
