Sometimes being a bit of a geek has it's moments, If you had a computer and you were playing games back in 2000 - 2002 Age of Empires 2 was your heroin, somebody passed me this link and the Nostalgia flooded right back, If you don't like this beat, you have no soul.

That was on sale on steam a few weeks ago. I was thinking of buying it.

One of my favorite games of all time right there
 
EDIT : Damn you i got pwned by nostalgia
 
EDIT 2 : for me it will always be this one i remember the most  

" One of my favorite games of all time right there "

I still play that game - a lot.  It is awesome and except for Civ IV, my favourite PC game.  I even play it on the DS a lot as well.  The music is perfect for it and very easy on the ears.

*Sigh* 
 
One of my top-5 of all time right there.

" @oldschool:  Because of the music, I went through my old PC stuff fished out AoE2 and the expansion, I have it tabbed right now. I suck! I have to get good at it again, I resorted to How do you turn this on, Because 4 enemies were at my door step "

If anyone wants to play some AOE2, you can easily do so with Gameranger- just download it and point it at your game executable.

One of the best strategy games ever! Still holds up really well today too.

The single RTS game I've ever played that actually consists of using some strategy to win, and not going 
*build barracks*
*figure out the cheapest thing*
*clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick* 
*click drag over army* 
*right click on enemy base*
*win*
 
like EVERY SINGLE frickin' RTS game EVER since the eternity of EVER.
 
 
Long story short, it's the single greatest RTS game ever made.

First game I cheated on.

We can agree that AoE 3 was pretty terrible though, right?

Haven't played it yet.  It was a step backwards?  I have been looking at the Complete Edition - at a price. "

It was after Age of Mythology, so they sorta introduced a semi-fantasy nonsense campaign into AoE 3, rather than sticking to historical campaigns.  I found it utterly devoid of charm.  On the other hand, I can't recommend Age of Mythology (and its expansion) highly enough.  For my money, AoM has one of the greatest RTS campaigns ever.

Well, I also have AoM Complete, but have to say it hasn't seen a lot of playtime, as is the same for AoM DS.  I just keep going back to AoE 2. "

Age of Empires sucked. 
 
 
Age of Mythology, now that, that was the shit.

Huh. So it wasn't just me who wasn't overtly fond of AoE3. That's good to know, I guess. Still, AoE2 is one of the best games out there. I still play this a lot actually. It's one of the games that hasn't left my PC ever since I bought it.

Yeah, this does bring me back..  I remember having this as a demo when I was around 7, so I'd play the Scottish campaign over and over again. Hell, the mission intros still sends a chill down my spine as I seem to recall every single one of the lines perfectly.

I fucking loved this game. For years it was the only thing I played...

I loved this game so much.  Always have it on my PC or Macbook.  Just cant imagine ever losing it.  I still prefer 2D graphics in RTS games than this 3D.  Sure you have move the camera and now the graphics have caught up but the charm is not there.  Nothing like seeing a villager fall over and see blood roll out.
Is the game on steam?  I may buy it just to make sure I can get it anywhere. I'm still using CDs.

One of my favourites, yes. Wondering if I can install this on my netbook...no CD drive. Isn't there a digital download version for this ?

That was a fantastic game. 

Fucking HD remake in the works,,,,,,,

The music in HD sucka!
