 Great collection!, 2007-05-22
I think they did a great job with this collection. I have enjoyed playing for hours already. Arrives in a jewel case, not the big box as pictured.

 Best PC game out there, 2007-04-10
I rarely buy PC games, but this one is definitely worth a look. The first one is generally regarded as one of the best PC games of all time, and the second one is even better. Plus, it is insanely cheap, if you don't already have it, buy it.

 High End Users Beware!, 2007-03-28
First of all I give this collection five stars in the FUN rating because I love Age of Empires, I have since I started using a computer way back in '97. My two star rating goes for this collection because I haven't been able to get it to play yet on my High End machine.
High End Users beware of this one. If you've got XP, you'll likely run into the same problem I've had. "Cannot initialize graphics" error. I've done what they've suggested in the FAQ and on the Microsoft Support, but no go so far. It says to reset the display resolution to 800x600 and set compatability to 256 color mode, but so far no luck for some reason. I'm runnig a Radeon 9800 on an Athlon 2600+ and XPPro SP2.
The game is great, but keep these problems in mind. It says XP on the box too, but don't be too hopeful that it will work on the first try, you may have to do some tweaking to get it to work at all if you're on a high-end PC. Just keep that in mind and be smart, it's a great deal for only ten bucks, but I would have thought they would have been able to put a fix in for this by now.
So the good: Great games on three discs for an unbeatable price.
Now the bad: Expect problems running on high-end machines.
Hope this has helped and just be aware of this issue.

 Well, at least the Age of Kings game works..., 2007-03-23
You all should know about the game play of these games from other reviews. I'll focus just on this package.
I bought this for the Age of Kings and the AOK expansion pack -- I already have the Age of Empires: Gold Edition. So, it shouldn't matter that the version of AOE doesn't load on my computer (it freezes just as the load is about finished). I mean, I did get an AOK: Gold for a good price. But, I'm kind of sorry all the games included don't work.

Long time fan, 2007-03-19
I have been playing Age of Empires for more than a decade now. I have always been a fan and even now I find some time to commit to this game. I remember AOE... how basic of a strategy game it was, but in its period, Warcraft was terrible compared to this game. Rise of Rome expansion was a decent upgrade to newer range of units, I loved the Legions and the Centurions... even though they did not fight in formation, they were killer infantry units. Upgradewise, AOE 2 was undoubtedly the best. It was better than any real time strategy game and still reigns this genre. It made the game so much more easier to play. The graphics very much more appealing than the AOE I's uneven size relations. Ensemble Studios introduced unique units for each civilization. Conqueror's expansion just seemed to complete what the original one lacked.. it made the game more efficient to play. AOE II was just so good that when I lost my first one I bought another one to cause I could not resist. The 2 games with their expansion packs original total price is over $50, and 10 bucks is a steal. This is a great game for children who hate history. The campaigns in both games are pretty close to history and the developers definitely did their research pretty good. Just to add, Age of Mythology and AOE 3 is awesome too!
