My great-grandmother got me Age of Empires: Gold Edition for PC as a gift when I was about five or six. What a legendary, based, god-tier gift for a grandma to buy.

I was always too scared to play the actual campaigns and just stuck to the foraging ones. My little buff and tanned, blue-pants builder men would always get steam-rolled by some red iron age guy on a horse whenever I tried to get out of my comfort zone. Nothing spamming the words "Big Daddy", "Photon Man", or "E=MC2 Trooper" into the chat couldn't solve though.

The best part of this game was the Scenario Builder. Me and my friend enjoyed just filling the map with an obscene amount of units and making our own sound effects as the two digital armies marched in to their meat-grinder.

WOLOLOOOOOO
