![]() ![]() However, while I have been enjoying the game quite a bit, and will probably continue to do so for the foreseeable future, after spending more than a modest amount of time with the game I can’t help but feel that this update is a small bit half-hearted.įor those unfamiliar with the Original Age of Empires II, as well as it’s expansion The Conquerors, which added new civilizations and is included in this update, the game is a 1999 RTS game originally made by Ensemble Studios. ![]() Flashforward 14 years and I metaphorically (if not a bit literally) jumped for joy at the news that one of my favorite games of all time was getting the HD update treatment by Hidden Path Entertainment, letting me relive my childhood memories in glorious 1080p. Over time of course the game aged, the online aspect died, I lost the disc, and I moved on to other games. Being only nine years old and a complete stranger to the real time strategy genre it took me awhile to figure out that winning required more than building as many knights as I could and charging the enemy head on, but once I did, I lost many an evening waging digital warfare with history’s greatest empires. 3, but it was both my first PC game and the first game that I ever really got hooked on. ![]() It wasn’t my first video game, that honor goes to Super Mario Bros. Age of Empires II: Age of Kings will always hold a special place in my heart.
