Played this game so much in high school and college, I played as the Spanish constantly. Sad it was removed from other stores online....it's a classic that deserves to be here.

This was one of the first games I played when I got my first computer. Sometimes, I just want to build the whole world than conquer the enemies. This is by far my favorite remastered version compared to the Definition Edition. It proves that story and architectural details trump high-quality graphics. Sadly, the publisher marked this version as retired on Steam just so people can buy the new Definition Edition, which hides some empires packages behind DLC

In the times of Windows XP, I installed Windows 98 SE as a secondary OS just to play this game. In that times, Windows XP couldn't play Age of Empires 2. I remember I bought online PDF with strategy guide, and printed it on laser printer, put into foil sleeves for documents, and put it into binder. I was standing on my shelf, no matter how long I haven't played AoE2. I still probably have it.

The game is pretty similar to other Park management games with an impressive economy model, except it is a little more funny. You must buy an area of land in your park to house a dinosaur, you put fencing around it, so your dinosaur does not escape and then finally, you choose your own dinosaur to place in it. But be really sure not to place two enemies next to each other or even T-Rex next to something tasty, thing can turn up pretty nasty for you or your visitors.

Imperivm III: Great Battles of Rome
Imperivm III: Great Battles of RomeImperivm: Great Battles of Rome is a sequel to RPG/RTS games Celtic Kings: Rage of War and Celtic Kings: The Punic Wars. The game, released in May 2005, was developed by Haemimont. The game contains various civilizations to choose from, among them are: Rome (Imperial and Republican), Egypt, Germania, Brittania, Iberia, Gaul and Carthage. It has a more elaborate hero system over its predecessor. The game focuses on tactics, troop mobility and terrain topography rather than sheer strength of numbers for winning battles. Though resources are important there is less relevance in gathering them than in other real-time battle games. Instead of sending an army of servants to mine, lumber, collect food or gather any other kind of resources these are generated at a constant rate directly proportional to the inhabitants of a population center. There are 3 player modes to choose from: Conquest: The battles involved on this game are focused on raising an empire by conquering all the known ancient world, the user can choose any of the available civilizations (see below) to do so. Rome's Greatest Battles: A good amount of effort has been dedicated to historical accuracy; not only on the graphics but on the story line of this pre-built scenarios on which the player can live Rome's defining moments, from The Battle of Zama which marked the final and decisive end of the Second Punic War to the rebellion of Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra. Custom Game: These feature is always present in modern day real time tactic and strategy games, it can be used to practice against computer opponents on custom made scenarios or to go on-line and battle against other human players

Theme Aquarium
Theme AquariumTheme Aquarium is a simulation video game in which the player creates and controls a sea life aquarium. It was originally released on 17 December 1998 for PlayStation only in Japan. The game was later ported to Microsoft Windows under the name Aquarium and was released in Europe. It was developed by Bullfrog production after the acquisition by Electronic Arts, since at the time Bullfrog was one of the most successful developer at breaching the Japanese market (with Populous and Theme Park). EA then decided to developed a Theme game exclusive to the Japanese Market. The western release did not have the Bullfrog branding.
