The games themselves are great. I want to let everyone know the Jewel Case edition is just that. It has all four games in a jewel case with a slip cover over the top. It does not include any manuals or information cards. The game can be played perfectly fine without them. Just a heads up that the savings are in lack of paper materials included.
Long time fan

I have been playing Age of Empires for more than a decade now. I have always been a fan and even now I find some time to commit to this game. I remember AOE... how basic of a strategy game it was, but in its period, Warcraft was terrible compared to this game. Rise of Rome expansion was a decent upgrade to newer range of units, I loved the Legions and the Centurions... even though they did not fight in formation, they were killer infantry units. Upgradewise, AOE 2 was undoubtedly the best. It was better than any real time strategy game and still reigns this genre. It made the game so much more easier to play. The graphics very much more appealing than the AOE I's uneven size relations. Ensemble Studios introduced unique units for each civilization. Conqueror's expansion just seemed to complete what the original one lacked.. it made the game more efficient to play. AOE II was just so good that when I lost my first one I bought another one to cause I could not resist. The 2 games with their expansion packs original total price is over $50, and 10 bucks is a steal. This is a great game for children who hate history. The campaigns in both games are pretty close to history and the developers definitely did their research pretty good. Just to add, Age of Mythology and AOE 3 is awesome too!
Great strategy game -- will run on even older computers

This game has achieved the status of a classic. For fans of strategy games, the AoE series is a must. What's more, this game will run on even older computers -- check the system requirements to see whether your old PC is up to snuff.
A Definite Steal!

OK, I'm not the one that actually plays this game but I gave it five stars because my husband can't stop playing the game. I purchased Age of Empires from Amazon for Christmas for my hubby (thanks Amazon for such quick shipping.)He has had as much fun as a kid on it.
Great game!

My children orginally asked for this game -- they are now playing it frequently and learning new terms about history to boot!

This Age of Empires Collectors Edition is overwhelming and definitely noteworthy! It comes with the primary Age of Empires game and The Fall of Rome expansion, and it also comes with Age of Empires II The age of Kings and The Conquerors expansion for an economical expense! Purchasing this merchandise will be a sagacious transaction.
Great collection!

I think they did a great job with this collection. I have enjoyed playing for hours already. Arrives in a jewel case, not the big box as pictured.
