If you have a PS1 or a PS2, one of the early Destruction Derby or Twisted Metal games is recommended.

That's why I don't trust them, look in a Game or a Computer exchange, They test them and they're generally cheap if their bad or don't play well

I got both Destruction Derbys'. I've also got a demo for DD2.

As for the rest of my collection, I've got all these babies:

2 ZX Spectrums, Nintendo's Colour Game System, Amiga 128 and an Oric 1 and a few others. Want to get a NES, SNES and Mega Drive when I'm older. Possibly a Pong console as well. Maybe Collecovision :3

In addition to these bad boys, I have two original-style GBAs (as well as a Pokemon Gold), two N64s, a GameCube, a SNES, and an Apple ][e. I used to have a Genesis, but I gave that away.

Computer exchange is more commonly known as CEx, google it

Red, Blue, and Yellow all still work. Silver, on the other hand, has a dead save battery. Once I finish moving, I should probably replace it.

lol i have the expansion
>huns

aztecs... well it's all about MOAR infantry and monk spam backed up by siege onagers. tbh i don't have the full aztec experience because I only used infantry and monks without siege onager support.

About the expansion pack there's one thing that I don't like and it's Heresy. It nerfs monks so badly, it's not even funny; they are just useful for healing and pissing off Persians now.

Actually, only some nations get it, thats what annoys me about being the britons, Longarchers vs monk fight: converted...
 :rage :rage :rage

Siege onagers are op, if they have built into the forest you can delete the forest and sneak into their base and they do quite a lot of damage.
So are aztec monks, I had a group of 25 and had them all convert the enemy's troops, 75% of them got converted :trollface
The Jaguar warriors are ridiculous, having 25 attack creams even a castle  :trollface
So yeah, the Triple Aztec experiance is a must

dude you lose LONGBOWMEN against monks ? how do you even do that ? clearly you ain't shooting the monks enough.

If you micromanage a blob of siege onagers yes they are good... but send some cavalry against them and oh sh!t, here's my onagers firing at themselves and getting raped by 2 cavalry units

Aztec monks should just be countered by siege onagers. And castles. I mean, sneak two or three against a group of 25 monks, see them losing half or more the monks.

I don't remember the jaguar warrior having that much attack, 20 maybe... 25 against infantry, possibly.

but seriously mangudais + siege onagers + siege rams = break your enemy like no tomorrow.

Well longbow men have a base range of 7 odd and monks have 9 Iirc, plus I was having it attack the monk while the other troops were attacking the enemy's troops, outranging is key, also I find Teutons, Chinese, Byzantines and the Turks really good

I pretty much always used the Byzantines when I played. I just found them really good for whatever reason, iirc they get bombard towers which I always lined my base with.

Anyone else ever get the Age of Chivalry mod for AoE II? I didn't expect much but it was actually a very good mod.

Wow, the first pc game that I played came out in 1997, when MMX was the ultimate in graphical processing technology. POD looked so amazing back then.

Then again, Terminal Velocity came out in 1995. GOG.com is awesome, letting me play games I played on my first pc :D

I haven't but i might look into it, did anyone find the hidden part in AoEII campaign? (I forget which one) I found a mod which allowed you to use it in map creator
