Played this game so much in high school and college, I played as the Spanish constantly. Sad it was removed from other stores online....it's a classic that deserves to be here.

This was one of the first games I played when I got my first computer. Sometimes, I just want to build the whole world than conquer the enemies. This is by far my favorite remastered version compared to the Definition Edition. It proves that story and architectural details trump high-quality graphics. Sadly, the publisher marked this version as retired on Steam just so people can buy the new Definition Edition, which hides some empires packages behind DLC

In the times of Windows XP, I installed Windows 98 SE as a secondary OS just to play this game. In that times, Windows XP couldn't play Age of Empires 2. I remember I bought online PDF with strategy guide, and printed it on laser printer, put into foil sleeves for documents, and put it into binder. I was standing on my shelf, no matter how long I haven't played AoE2. I still probably have it.
good game since i was a child i play it many times , each time changing the civilization/nation and exploring the unique troops of each , best hero wiliam walas and herculis

Played this game school days when my parents bought the pc. The graphics at that time were very good. The concept of developing an empire was very engaging at a young age.

Magic of Endoria
Magic of EndoriaThe strategy-game Magic of Endoria takes place in the fantasy kingdom Endoria. Aeons ago the gods of Endoria were disgusted by the badness in the world and morphed themselves into crystal splinters and retreated into the underworld. Who gets all these splinters becomes the master of Endoria. Now two rival arch mages got aware of this myth and go on the search. You are one of them. Of course you have to dig deep into the underground to find them. Your responsibility lies in the building. managing and defending of mines. To achieve this you hire employees with different professions: Craftsmen, researchers, mine workers, hauliers and warriors. These people want to see money for their work and they improve their abilities when they become experienced. During the game you dig new alleys, equip them with traps, research new tools and fight against enemy troops to conquer their alleys. Later you have mutated creatures to your disposal. You spend most of your time on a map with hexagonal fields. There you issue orders and set the routes of your employees. The in 1995 released CD-ROM version features speech, new background music and an online help. Additionally there is a "light" version of the game which tones down the complexity. The PC version of Magic Endoria differs from the Commodore 64 version released the previous year in that it is real time instead of turn based.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
Metal Gear Solid HD CollectionFrom the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever. Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise. The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.
