Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings on Windows 98 in 2026
Oh yeah! Age of Empires 2 on Windows 98 baby! I was actually a little worried the disc would not be readable anymore due to how much it has had to endure over the past 20+ years, but low and behold: It still installed without an issue (I did try to clean it a bit before putting it in the drive). I was too scared to play this game online back in the day, as I never really learned how to "properly" play it, but did enjoy it on LAN Parties, and later the HD and remastered versions with friends over steam.
Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings is a real-time strategy video game developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft. Released in 1999 for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh in 2001, it is the second game in the Age of Empires series. The Age of Kings is set in the Middle Ages and contains 13 playable civilizations. Players aim to gather resources, which they use to build towns, create armies, and defeat their enemies. There are 5 historically based campaigns, which conscript the player to specialized and story-backed conditions, and 3 additional single-player game modes; multiplayer is also supported.
