Lag's over.

And I still don't see why ancient games from the stone age of gaming are being re-released with slightly better resolution, mildly improved graphics and yet have such a high price tag which seems unreasonable in my view. ~ Alexandros Megalos ~ Alexander III of House Argead ~ Alexander the Great ! ~

Because they're brilliant games D:

Also because they just do not work(And if they do, it's not well) on newer versions of windows, like 7 or 8, and the fact they're allowing me to go back and replay it is amazing.

But 90% of the work has already been done and they've already profited enormously from those games over time, you'd think they could release those games again at extremely low prices and still make a profit. ~ Alexandros Megalos ~ Alexander III of House Argead ~ Alexander the Great ! ~

They're adding new stuff too, so that'll be good. They're even allowing access to the steam workshop so lovely mods :D

Looking forward to it, AoM was my favourite RTS ever, coming just ahead of Age of empires 3. :3

Ah I remember AoE3, had so much fun with that, I was considering rebuying it on steam but it's still £29.99 for the complete version.. and I'm not so lazy that I'd pay that much for such an old game rather than try to dig up my old aoe3 disc somewhere or other in my house.

But it seems mainly to be a Microsoft thing to overprice games and keep them expensive no matter how many decades pass, I just looked at Stronghold HD and it's £3.49 and Age of mythology has a base price of £22.99, that's just too much :|


Ever play Empire Earth or Stronghold btw o:? ~ Alexandros Megalos ~ Alexander III of House Argead ~ Alexander the Great ! ~
