I remember back in the day, just before my GCSE exams all I would ever do was play this game (AoE I). Man did I know how to procrastinate
. But seriously I was hooked to this game; it somehow manages to take over your life. For some reason though I never played two and three or mythology (and probably for the best - otherwise I wouldn't see the light of day!). I'll check them out one day - probably not soon, but one day when I have more time again.
