Age Of Empires for Windows

Ages of empires can be a very addicting game. You start out with a village, and build up your civilization through many ages. i.e. wood to stone age and up. You manage your village and its population. You have to provide food shelter and education for your villagers. (Be careful not to run out of wood or food) It is very involved and you can lose your self for hours in this game. There are also historical battles and civilizations that you can command, see how your decisions can change the out come of history. You have armies and navies to command and I have a new appreciation for a leaders responsibilities. It can be hard to keep up with all the action.
The graphics are very good, and don't require a special 3d super voodoo 128mb whiz bang graphics card to enjoy. In fact this would be a very good game for a lap top computer. All in all I find this a very enjoyable game. If you have several hours to kill I highly recommend it.
