 top-of-the-line classic game July 3, 2010
K. Cummings (Dunkirk, Maryland USA)
this game was my favorite growing up (the first one) and i still like it now. it's very dated but it still has fun factors when you just wanna get back to the basics.
i would recommend this game for the great price it's at (i grabbed it for [...]).
 Does Not Work Well With Windows 7 July 2, 2010

I bought this at a Best Buy some time ago. It worked on my old XP computer. I recently upgraded to a Windows 7. This game does not work with Windows 7. It had problems ranging from mouse commands to colors.
Awesome game, bad compatibility June 30, 2010
Han K. Lee (Los Angeles, CA USA)
So, this is a pretty old set of games (especially the first one in the set), but it's still what I would call unique - yeah the graphics are bad but overall they did give a nice sense of time setting (ancient and medieval) and I've seen people have a lot of fun making scenarios reenacting all sorts of battles, historical and imagined.
Not a game that you'd probably play for a week and get tired of, but something that would take you in and leave a feeling of a game well played...
But, the main reason I might have written this review is more about the compatibility problems - The games run fine on Windows XP (the first is iffy but it still works) AND on Windows Vista/7 (only AOE 2 + expansion).
However, you will definitely run into glitches - For the second game there is a driver issue with the mouse THAT CANNOT be fixed, only temporarily avoided by the usual gamut of reinstallation and crying, etc. (This issue rarely pops up but when it does.....) And in the game community there is the infamous "toxic waste" problem - most graphics drivers can't handle the oldness and will wack out - everything turns neon and bright, like toxic waste (hence the name) - this issue can be fixed by alt+tabbing
yet, even with these problems I would say that it is DEFINITELY worth buying, I had a lot of fun with this game as a child and still do. I mean seriously, you won't miss those ten dollars you spent, lol
 Fun game for the whole family June 27, 2010
LB
Since this is such a great price, I purchased 3 sets of the Age of Empires software game. This is so much fun, and we play as a whole family. Both of my kids are in elementary school, and they learned the game quickly. We battled each other, and other times, we play in the same team and battle the computer. You have choices of what army you want to build, and if you want to be by a coast where you can build fishing, transport, or battle ships. Lots of fun. The only complaint I have is when the CDs arrived, the center plastic clips that holds the CDs together broke off. Since it's a great price, I had to give it 5 stars.
 Doesn't work on windows 7 June 16, 2010
Allyson Balla (Hendo, NC USA)
For all that I've heard this is an excellent game, I can't say for myself because it won't work.
Microsoft says it is compatible with 7 but I messed around and searched the web for fixes and I still haven't gotten it going. Some people said that if you change something in your registery it will work but as of yet no luck for me.
If I get it working I'll update with the steps needed to do so.
