Haha that’s really funny. I was born in 1996 so I played the originals around 2002.when I started using computer for the first time,I had a demo version of this game. From then I became fan of this game and upto now I still watch videos of this game on YouTube. I am not playing it anymore because it requires more time.i am actually practicing web development nower days.
My dad played those with his friends a lot and has taught me and my siblings how to play. We have the Collectors Edition, which has aoe I and II along with both expansions, and aoe III. My brother and I have yet to beat to my dad together.
One of my favorite PC series of all time, but I gotta hand it to Total War: Shogun 2 as my favorite RTS. Nothing like bringing 10k units to a fight against 300 enemies
