Works with Windows 10

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

I just helped my grandma replace her old XP computer with a new machine running Windows 10. We were nervous about the transition because she really likes older strategy games, and Age of Empires II is her current favorite, and we were afraid they wouldn't work on the new computer. I tried to install it on my grandma's new computer with the disc she had, which was the original release, and it would not load. We decided to try the Collector's Edition, and thankfully it runs very well! My grandma's only complaint was that the colors were off as compared to before; definitely not bad. I'm so happy my grandma can keep playing her favorite game in spite of her badly-needed computer upgrade. I have no opinion on the quality of the game itself (I've never played it), except to say that my grandma is awesome, and if she enjoys it so much, it must be an engaging, interesting and challenging strategy game.

NOT Collectors edition!

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

The picture clearly shows the Limited Collectors Edition, and the item title explicitly says "Collector's Limited Edition", but the packaging which arrives is simply a generic DVD box with a single DVD, and that's it (the DVD box even has a picture of the ACTUAL Collectors Edition box on the front cover!). I bought the original Collector's Edition Box Set years ago when it was originally released, and this is NOT it! It does NOT contain the original collector's packaging, NONE of the companion books, cards, maps, or accessories. This is NOT the Collectors Limited Edition. It is simply a single DVD with the 2 games & their expansions. That's it.

A Superb AoE Collection for Windows 10!

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

Since I was a child, I've always been a fan of the AoE franchise when Age of Empires released on October 15, 1997. Many years later and now an adult, I still love it and nerd out over it! At first, I was a bit skeptical and worried it would be the wrong product (I mean, the Amazon description didn't even apply to the Age of Empires Collector's Edition! Lol). Plus, I had my share of bad experiences on Amazon. But I took a gamble, and I am glad I did!

PROS:
- The case is in overall good shape with some MINOR WEAR.
- The booklet is in excellent shape. NO DISC SCRATCHES! Discs are in excellent condition.
- All CDs WORK! :D Installation and playing work fine on my 64-bit Windows 10 Home.

CONS:
- There's a plastic hanger glued to the back of the slipcover. There's also, as seen in the picture, strong tape on the top and bottom of the slipcover Sadly, attempting to remove these adhesives would leave a terrible tear on the slipcover. So, I've kept them on much to my displeasure. Please be aware this might happen to yours!
- Unlike the AoE II discs, the AoE Gold Edition disc has no disk tray to sit on! So, it's just freely floating around in the plastic case, which is a little worrisome to me because that might scratch the CD in the near future. That's just me, though. Others might not mind this.

SUMMARY:
If you want brand new condition for your collection, then this might not be it for you. But if you just want a physical CD-ROM of the old games just to play them and add to your collection (not minding the condition), then this is for you. Personally, I'm a satisfied nerd of this product, and best of all the games work. :)

Game is great but using is not

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

I really loved this game, and I finally decided to buy it even though I knew it might be a time killer. Game is great, but installation/usage not as much. I have a Windows 7 64 bit computer, as far as I can tell with this old game and a new computer one of the following will happen to you a) it will work perfectly b)the colors will be weird and you will have to fix that or c)it won't work or will have bizarre behavior. As you might guess I fall into category c. The game installed perfectly fine and I could play it, but the graphics in addition to the easily solved color problem also had a glitching/interference problem that made it impossible to play. I have no idea what caused that problem, but I do know that it worked fine in safe mode (and I even turned on sound in safe...though of course it doesn't come with it...easy youtube videos if you would like to do so.) Safe mode as you guess was kind of a last ditch desperate effort of somebody who really wanted to play the game. I don't think going into safe mode is the best way to use your computer and after I got a fatal error when restarting and then had to manually restart my computer (which restarted fine) I thought maybe this wasn't worth it. Of course somehow in all this mess....the game fixed itself, I'm guessing a Windows update? Or maybe I'll just keep on the look out for this problem to reoccur. However, I also have another frustrating problem, not all save games will work.....apparently this is a well known problem and there are a few strategies for solving....none of which have worked for me. So I just have to play it all at once or roll the dice.

Bottom line this is a great price for this fantastic game; you might be lucky and it will work fine for you or you only need a small change or maybe you will be unsuccessful. It is worth trying anyways, since at worst you still won't have your game.

A Good Friend, Back In The Flesh

Reviewed in Canada on August 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

Age of Empires: Collector's Edition is the single best release in the series. If you don't have Age of Empires 1 or 2 - or even if you do, buy it.

Forget DRM, forget always-on internet connections, forget Steam Libraries. For the original, authentic version of AOE you knew and love, this is it.

This isn't a review of the included games, but of the collection as a whole.

The Good:
Age of Empires doesn't require CD to play.

The Bad:
Some of the included games require a disk, and others don't. It isn't always clear which do.

Included game versions do not have the latest patches applied.

The Ugly:
The Age of Empires games have not aged gracefully. More elegant games for a more elegant time, the interface was not designed with large displays in mind, and requires patching to work on modern computers.

== How to Patch: ==
=== Age of Empires 1 ===
Age of Empires I and Rise of Rome expansion must be installed.

Browse to http://aoe.heavengames.com/dl-php/showfile.php?fileid=2477 and click on the red "Download File" button.

Run it to patch for widescreen support.

The patch also rebalances the game, and fixes numerous bugs.

=== Age of Empires 2 ===
==== Method A ====
Age of Empires 2 and The Conquerors must be installed.

Then, download and run UserPatch from here:
http://userpatch.aiscripters.net/

It will require a disk to play, but it restores all planned functionality to the game. It also fixes dozens of bugs.

==== Method B ====
For just the widescreen support, download:
http://web.archive.org/web/20130705054433/http://www.boekabart.net/aoe2wide/latestpatcher/AoE2WideSetup.msi

Then navigate to /Microsoft Games/Age of Empires II/ and run aoe2wide.

Disk not required to play after patch is installed.

=== Recommended Mods ===
==== Age of Empires 2 ====
The best mod is The Forgotten Empires.

http://www.forgottenempires.net/install/

The project began in 2011. Five "new" civilizations were added - the ones considered by Ensemble, but ultimately ignored. 11 years after the original game launched, modders learned how to add new civilizations (as opposed to replacing), new technologies, new gameplay modes.

This patch not only adds new civilizations, it adds a new (custom) campaign, new AI, and widescreen support.

The modders went on to assist with the Steam re-release. The modders also released the mod on Steam (with an improved UI) as an official expansion.

==== Rome at War ====

Before 0 AD, there was Rome at War.

Wildfire Games wanted to see Age of Empires remade... and instead saw Age of Kings.

When The Conquerors launched, Wildfire Games started to rework AoE:Rise of Romes' two best civilizations. And then they released Rome at War.

Rome at War replaces the Mayans and Incas with the Greeks and Romans. Well balanced for multiplayer, this mod takes two civilizations at their peak and matches them against their later counterparts.

This mod will patch The Conquerors and is not widescreen compatible.

Buy from Steam---The graphics are not adequate and it is not possible to zoom in

Reviewed in Canada on January 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

Without ending a explorer.exe process -- the graphics are not proper --
And multiplayer does not run well.

Whoever is looking to buy Age of empires -- buy online from Steam.

It is mostly a waste of money here since the game will not run properly.

Harkening Back to the Beginning

Reviewed in Canada on April 11, 2013

I can remember when I first played this game. A friend had the demo and from then on I was hooked on the series. Resource management, military strategy, (questionable) but fun voice work, and a good way to burn some time. This series has been a paramount part in my development as an RTS player. The nostalgia and the goofy smile (I probably get) when I play it means this series has and will have an everlasting effect on me.
