Watched my dad and my brothers and their friends play Age of Empires and Age of Empires 2 throughout my childhood. What was special with these games to me was that they didn't let me play because they thought I didn't understand how to play. Even without understanding of English, when I got to play it, I could play it without a problem cause I had seen what they did. Ahh good old times.
I still remember the day I got this. Oh my god! What's funny is I got the gold edition and it came with the expansion pack. But I didn't know what the Gold Edition was and didn't know that the back of the CD case opened, so I never played the expansion until like 5 or 6 years later. Lol
Agreed, wish they would make a remake of it improving the quality, but keeping it just as it was, would be awesome to have it with zoom in, and 3D rotation
Lol I was played this when I was 6 until I was 8 on a windows 98 emachine pc. I would refuse to get any fish other than tuna and I always was english :p.
Since they are remembering the past, I can say I played the game for the first time in 2000 and since then I played it every year! Maybe more than 2000 hours playing this damn game... not much I don't know about it.
this game is so epic they should remake it but same gameplay and everything... i remember i used to sit there for hours even after the match was basicly dont i would occupy the enemy so they dont attack me and make my empire, try and expand into ally bases XD. and sometimes attack my own walls to make them look like ruins... even though my copy was "borrowed" which was a big mistake, memories of my childhood live on inside me as i cameo everything i do with AoE 2!!!!!
so it had music after all. All those years without music. My brother once promised to teach me how to play it but I got impatient and learnt it myself, besides it took 2 months for him to finally remember his promise. (sigh) Nearly ten years have passed. Man to what lengths did I go, used to leave some unlucky enemy villagers in a wooden wall with a market and turned 1/4 of the map into a city and the rest into huge farms. Obsession?
my childhood wasnt on streets, it was near magical box.. and that box was my computer what was running AoE 2 :) Damn.. So much memories. Way more better than other games.
aha i remember at the soundtrack at 1:50 i always used to build all these town centres castles and the stables and always always made a trillion paladins (because i was always the Persians) all other teams didnt stand no chance (i loved using cheats!)
@SsethTzeentach Yo bro not everyone me I was born in 1996 and even up to this day I still play this, Age of Empires, Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome Expansion, Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings, and Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion. I tell ya these games never get old for me and it will not forever in my opinion.

I really must mention that Vikings are the best. I mostly played the Conquerors, even though I hate those stinking petards, so I'm not as familiar with this theme. Anyway, in the Conquerors, the technology Berserkergang has to be the most unfair feature. This game doesn't have the greatest graphics, but its playability and addictivitude will remain for eternity.
@halowars1324 Because now they try to make music with modern-ized instruments and not the old style 8-bit or 16- bit music that was used to games such as Age of empires or games from around the 90's. They had alot of amazing fun soundtracks that were pleasent to listen too. Now it's all about being LOUD and Supposedly "Impressive!" But they aren't that awesome such as AoE2. Just look at AoE3 of how bleh their soundtrack is.
@SwissJustMe they murdered ensemble studios, split it into 4 companies. they did the same with bungie recently, they seem to be really fucking themselves in the ass.
@SwissJustMe i totally agree...age of empires 2 .. and age of mythology ( with both their expansions) were the highlight of my childhood..and im proud to say i have recently dug it up to shere with my 7 year old sister ...shes loveing the game atm ^,^
Can't believe I was only 9 when I got the game. Ten years ago and it feels like yesterday. Remember unpacking it for my birthday. I was so freaking happy.
I was 10 too, except I had previously thought it was just another boring game in my Dad's collection. One day I was bored, so I installed it and FREAKING LOVED IT! I still remember the first game I played with my Dad like it was yesterday.
@jamesc1991a same here. i went to the store. i i kinda heard something like: age 2 will release soon. i played aoe 1 with passion like a freak and couldnt wait to get aoe 2. now the situation: we were in the store, just to buy some uninteresting stuff. then i saw it..... aoe 2 was there, standing there, ready to grab and to buy. ... my eyes went O________________O""""""" DAD BUY ME THAT GAME OR I WILL CRY TILL I DIE. i finalley got it and i coulnt believe, i owned aoe 2.... that were moments<3
@TheGrimPlacid i was 7!!!!! i played at this game when i was really little!!!!!! and i'm playing also today at this epic game! after 9 years! and when i was 5 i bought rhe first chapter. today, it makes me cry XD
I remember playing this when I was just a wee little toddler. I loved the colorful and artistic feel of the graphics, and managing my villages and cities. The battles were fun, but this game had a lot of bonus goodies too.
I still remember those Japanese archers that had repeating bows. That was so cool.
@Moorsie900 well tahts cuz i don't have the CD. Have a crack for it lol ^_^ Cuz if u have a CD and put it in a music player it will play the music from the game. I know cuz i did that once (A looonng time ago, been playin Age 2 since i was 4 years old)
Is a really wierd problem....happened on my Windows XP too! After a while it started to work alone tough.....wierd still. So it doesn't really change if you have a pirated version or not.
Ehhh I don't remember this soundtrack. All I ever heard was a Beautiful Music, and the other soundtracks. Is it because Conquerors is like the new soundtrack?
can u send me the song from 5:00 to 8:09 plss i loved that song when i was playing the game i dont have the game anymore so i cant hear it someone stole it i had the gold edition but i wanted to listen to the song ask me on ps so i can give u mty e-mail 10x :)
