Age of Empires: Collectors Edition (Jewel Case) Reviews
When I got into AOE II, I did encounter one problem with the graphics. When it resets the screen, the graphics look normal. Everything was a weird color. Other than that one problem, the game plays just fine. Feeling rather sentimental, I decided to order it despite my fear that it wouldn't work on my brand new computer. You may have to do it a few times if you encounter this issue. I played this game when it very first came out, when I was in my early teens.
The first time I did it, it worked. However, going to the Options menu and changing the resolution and graphics quality fixed that problem. It's a minor annoyance, but not enough to make me return the game since it is "fixable". It didn't seem to matter which resolution or quality level I changed it to.the trick was getting the screen to reset itself (which changing the graphics quality alone will not do.
I spent the majority of my evening building, hunting, and fighting battles. You must change the resolution as well). It's as much fun as I remember it being. All of the discs installed and loaded without issue on my new PC.
It would appear that changing everything once does not fix it permanently. Grass was red, water was green, the trees were blue, and the animals were technicolor. The second time I loaded the game and the graphics were messed up, I had to reset the resolution twice before things looked normal again. I also have an older PC with XP still on it, and figured if the game didn't work with Vista I could always play it on the old PC.
It's truly a great game, and one I love as much now as I did then. The original AOE played with no problems. You'll probably have to do it almost every time you load the game up.
I love this game. It is a great strategy game where you also learn history.
packs. The game is great, especially for the price. It's more of 4 games because of the exp.
The two have been integrated, so the game starts from the Age of Empires: Rise of Rome game starting screen. These are old games. The expansion installs at C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft GamesAge of Empires II. There is a patch to the game, "Update 1.0c" (AOEPATCH.exe), you can download via the "Web Connection" link in the game menu.
There's no patch on the web, just a link to an additional download, The Pandora's Box/Age of Empires 2 Box Cover Puzzle. Explore the CD to find the Manual in the "DOCS" folder, in the "RISEROME" sub-folder. The package is more suited to the person who already owns the games, but wants original disc backups, just in case, because the package lacks paper documentation about the game. There is a Manual and a Tech Tree, in PDF form, included on the CD. The game installs at C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft GamesAge of Empires II. Age of Empires: Collector's Edition contains three CDs. The game installs at C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft GamesAge of Empires.

Notes: If you play these games on Windows Vista and try to use the "Help" links in the game, Vista will kick you out of the game, because Vista is missing the "WinHlp32.exe" file.

I like this game very much so does my 7 year old son. I play The Age of Empires more than The Age of Mythology. He likes The Age of Mythology better though.
