Well worth a few bucks. Please note: this title was reviewed using a Dell XPS Gen 4, P4 HT @ 3.20 GHz, 4 Gig RAM, Dual 160 SATA RAID(0) hard drives and a nVidia GeForce 6800 256mb PCIe video adapter. It is important to read and understand the minimum and recommended system requirements for any PC video game. Systems that are faster than the minimum may provide significantly better performance and improve your gaming experience. Some PC video games list specific video card requirements and will not function without. It is also important to mention (because we sell video games on ebay) that we do not sell titles as NEW once they are opened and installed for testing. Most test games find a home with one of our testors (employees) and in rare circumstances we will sell as USED.Read full review
The game came just fine but I cant play it. Its too old to play on Windows 10. I even tried compatibility mode for Windows 8, 7, Vista, and XP but still nothing. As far as I know the game simply doesn't work on today's computers. Wish I'd known that before I bought it. :(

When this game 1st came out in the 90s it was AWSOME. Compared to modern day games and the younger generation I'm sure they think it sucks, but for a 70s kid who grew up on Atari playing Asteroids Combat Tanks & Missle Command, playing Ages in the 90s was a superb improvement. I love this game and play it at least twice a week... and I'm going on 46 years old!

The original AoE is still one of my all time favorite games. I bought three copies so I could play networked with my kids. I had various issues installing to windows 7 and windows 10. I recommend the fan made "Age of Emipres HD patch" - it was the only way this would run on my system. Even yet there are still some issues. But overall, it's playable.

OK Ok, I admit this game is OLD now. We have games like F.E.A.R. that is graphically awesome and games like Empire Earth II that makes strategy games more complex than ever before. But... in the end, that ultimately doesn't matter. This game still kicks ass and then some. Yes, the graphics are horrible, the gameplay is limited and simple, and the maps are small. But man, it's so hella fun! This is the game that revolutionized the RTS genre, making the players weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each different combat units. The strategy is also very fast-paced and so it is actually a feat to get bored in this game, unlike the long drawn-out scenarios of Age of Empires II and Empire Earth series. Since the epochs are limited to the four basic ones, it only takes a while to be specialized and become familiar with different civilizations and units. Building and destroying is addictingly fun, even with the 1997 graphics and the campaigns require good amoung of wit, skill, and trigger-happy mouse finger. I don't know if the game is still online capable (do people still play online) but I remember when I used to play this game on gamespy. It was beautiful. I found that each player had different strategies (some would maximize siege weaponry while fortifying the home base; some would use archers and swordsmen simultaneously while scattering resource bases) and it was a totally new experience to play against each one. In simple words, online gaming with game was incredibly fun. As a classic, this was the best RTS game ever. Comparing it to games of today, it is still one of the best and if not, it's still a hell of a game to have fun with.Read full review
