I just ordered this set but I'm a previous owner of both games and expansions, my discs either stopped working or were lost while moving. The amount of hours I spent playing Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings is insane. Never before I touched a game that was so addicting. I was new to the whole RTS genre, and still to this day I haven't played a game that matches up to it. StarCraft is a definite contender, but it's a different type of RTS. Age of Empires III has nothing on the past games, music included. It's a shame the online servers were taken down, but there are still ways to play these classic games online, google is your friend!At less than $10 for two games and two great expansions you are getting not hours, you're getting days, weeks and months of playtime. Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion took everything that made Age of Kings great and made it even better, there's no other way to put it.I'm serious when I say I did better in some of my history classes thanks to the campaign mode where you re-live the stories of El Cid, Joan of Arc and others. You can also add a lot of user-created maps and features which include the popular Tower-Defense genre, additional adventures, different sprites/characters and even more game modes.Interested in checking out how the series started? Try the originals included in the bundle. You can see which things changed drastically in the sequel and those that kept on going. The style changed quite a bit and so did the general feel of the game, but you can still play the originals just fine, albeit with a few outdated features compared to the sequel (villagers don't automatically gather resources, although that was added in The Conquerors.Simply put, love RTS? Want a classic bundle for a low price? Get this. The Age of Empires II + Expansion bundle actually costs more than this one!
