Does any one know where I can play Age of Empires : The conqurers online?

I used to play online when MSN game zone was there but they shut it down a couple of years back and I never tried to find any other place..

admin do you like this game .......... to me this is completely BORING ..... i dont how other people are able to enjoy this ......rather i liked the WARCRAFT III: reign of chaos its pretty interesting, and hell faster than AOE

Admin

May be I am getting too old for fast games

I like stratgy games and there is not better stratgy game then AOE

There are some very fast and interesting scenario games available on AOE platform and I love one of them called Spider blood and it is a lot of fun playing it online but if you play on your own its no good.

I think playing games is a sheer waste of time especially when playing for over 30 mins - playing online games is even worse - you are wasting money as well.

My comment may not please avid gamers. I am not against playing games but 15~20 minutes is more than enough to take a break and relax. When I worked at EA, there were consoles and arcades at every nook and corner but I rarely saw people playing for more than 10 minutes.

I don't agree with you at all
You need to do some thing for entertainment (not at work but at home)
You watch movies and you have a big collection of it, i don't watch that much, on my weekends but i play games

These games are not to be played when you have work, generally i play them when i need entertainment and it is my hobbies also. i can play game for 3 hr as you watch movies for 3 hr

ppl read books to do time pass or watch TV, some ppl play games

It is a perspective of an individual and it might be right for one person and wrong for another

I just enjoy games and i am glad i have games to play on my weekend instead of watching the stupid serials

Yes. I do have a huge collection of movies but I watch them only over some weekends (not all weekends).

My argument against games is that it becomes an addictive habit. You play for 2 hours today and reach a particular level and then the mind is always thinking in background on what will happen next and then you cannot wait to get back to the computer. Unlike this, a movie will finish in 2 or 3 hours and it will not prompt me to put in another movie disc to continue the show (at least it does not for me).

Books are entirely different - even from fiction you do learn a lot. For example books by Fredrick Forsythe, Jeffrey Archer, Irving Wallace, Sydney Sheldon, Leon Uris, etc. are written after a lot of research. They become informative. I do not know how much you will learn by playing games that depict violence, war, shooting, etc. I attribute all my knowledge (however limited it may be) to me being well read.

What the heck - my English improved because of my reading habits, especially P G Wodehouse. So there is no comparison here.

Again as stated earlier I am not against playing games but don't let it become an addiction. If you are not addicted then good but this rarely happens.

But to each his own...

I dont normally play games on a daily basis... its only once a month or so but when I do play I spend the whole day or even two days playing games and doing nothing else
This normally happens when some one visits us with their kids
Gives me a good break.

i agree that it can become additive
But it is up to an individual to control it

there are many things in this world which can become additive if not controlled eg: internet, alcohol etc

I believe that it is the responsibility of an individual and his family (if he lives with them) to control it and use it to relax and get fresh

I use it to get fresh because i don't read much and i don't like to watch stupid TV serial or even movies (the usually ones), there are hardly good moves available no a days.

I do enjoy good moves but i don't find good ones very often, so i stick to games

Were is our player !!!!! i don't see any comments from him
