This is an old one, but Matt Ball and his kid and I used to have a lot of fun multiing this game. It's got to be nearly free by now (if available at all...).

I bought AOE3 but like with Civ 4 and 5, they changed the gameplay so much I just couldn't get into it. AOE2 is where it peaked.

Fake edit - on Steam I see a HD version of the game released in 2013 for $20. I'd buy it again if everyone else wanted to play. I give it 3 thumbs up (that means my penis, too).

fake edit to the fake edit - Oooo, they added multi monitor support, too. I may get this one even without you guys. Watch the video in the steam store.

Seems to me if you want us to play with you, you should just buy the four pack and gift peeps copies.

Well, giving these gifts is self-serving. He wants you to play a game of his choosing.

I'm not saying it's a dick move, but he might be the most evil person to ever live.
