Age Of Empires Collector’s Edition (Limited Edition)
First of all I give this collection five stars in the rating FUN because I like Age of Empires, I have since I started using a computer through ‘97. My two star rating applies to this collection because I have not been able to successfully play on my machine yet upscale.
High End Users wary of it. If you have XP, you’ll probably run into the same problem I had. "Unable to initialize graphics" error. I did what they suggested in the FAQ and support from Microsoft, but not go so far. He is said to reset the display resolution to 800×600 and set compatibility mode with 256 colors, but so far no luck for some reason. I am Runnig a Radeon 9800 on an Athlon 2600 + XPPro and SP2.
The game is great, but keep these issues in mind. He says XP on the box too, but do not be too hopeful that this work first time, you may have to make some adjustments to make it work at all if you’re on a high-end PCs. Just keep this in mind and be smart, it’s a lot for only ten dollars, but I thought they could put a correction in this now.
So the good: great games on three discs for an unbeatable price.
Now the bad: Expect problems running on high-end machines.
