I purchased the original Age of Empires years ago when it first came out, and the Roman expansion when it became available, so I have the equivalent of the so-called "Gold Edition".
Out of all the games I own, this is the most addictive.Time just flies by when I'm playing this game, which isn't always a good thing.This IS a good thing when my flight has been delayed however.With my laptop, extra lithium-ion batteries, and Age of Empires, airport delays are not nearly as painful as they used to be.
To create a game that remains addictive and interesting over the years is quite an achievement.Most video games become boring after a while, either because they are too frustrating and difficult, or they are too easy or repetitive.Finding a balance that is both entertaining and challenging is tough, and these guys have done it.I personally love the random games.The environment really dictates the strategy you should use, as it does in real life, and the possibilities are nearly endless.You can also design your own scenarios, which kills a lot of time and allows you to experiment with environmental conditions that the random map generator would never come up with.
The Roman expansion didn't add much, but it also didn't cost much.The most important feature I was looking for was the ability to put gates in my walls.In Age of Empires, if you build a wall around your civilization, you can not get out without destroying part of the wall.As I understand it, this has been corrected in Age of Kings, which I have not gotten yet.
If you enjoy real time strategy, you're gonna love Age of Empires!
