The instructor was a bit old school and was not convinced of the long term viability of the mouse as a computer input device, so he wanted to make sure his class was prepared for the day when we got over this mouse thing and got back to the only input device that really mattered the keyboard. The class was to be taught on machines with no mouse attached. It reminds me of a Windows 95 class taught at one of the local Community Colleges back in the day. I like that they felt the need to specify a mouse in the system requirements.

Multimedia PC with Pentium 166MHz or higher processor.System requirements have come a long way since the game shipped. You especially have to love the banner ads on the Age of Kings site.īoth the game and the expansion installed and ran fine, neither taking up too much space or resources. Looking a the Microsoft sites for Age of Kings and The Conquerors, you can tell that they have not done much with the games over the last seven years of so. Getting them patched to the latest version was not hard either. So after a bit of searching on Friday evening, I came up with the CDs for both Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings and the expansion, Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. And the variety of different empires represented lent themselves to different strategies.
Not to diminish StarCraft, which is an incredibly polished and well balanced game, but to me there was always a greater sense of depth and immersion when playing Age of Kings. After getting StarCraft out the other week and giving it a run, Potshot and I started discussing one of our more favored RTS games, Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings.
