I found a computer game I haven't played in nearly 20 years...

It's been updated and improved.

"Age Of Empires"

I have 1 and 2 so far.

Gives me a thrill when I see the "VICTORY!" screen.

1. How does it work on newer computers?

I still have the original CD I got with my first Windows (3.1?) computer, plus the Roman Expansion. Every so often I think about pulling it out to play.

2. I'm using an updated downloaded version.

I doubt your original game would work.

But the newer version (about $20,) works better than the old one.

4. OK, Thanks to you and to Lars

I never played it as much as my husband did, but it was the only seriously commercial game I played.

There was one that I enjoyed, called "Quest for Glory: So You Want to Be A Hero" but I was terrible at it - almost as bad as I was at playing the text based "Colossal Cave Adventure" gave. Part of the problem was that I did not have computers that could run very fast so the delay between scenes got very annoying.

3. You can get it through Steam...$19.95

You have to download Steam and join. They have sales on games, too.

5. One of my all time favorite computer games
