Did anyone else have it and play it before getting the full version of the game? I got the demo with one of those PC/Tech magazines my father subscribed/s to and that was my second encounter with AoK ever (I'd played the AoK demo at a friend's house a while before). I knew it was only a demo but I played that one Montezuma scenario over and over, hoping that if you waited long enough, built a town good looking enough, chopped down all trees in a specific place and placed a relic there, there would be something new happening. Like hot air balloons coming in to help you defeat the Xochimilico. That went on and on for about a year or so, not all the time everyday, but for an hour or so a few days a week. Then, finally, my brother and I spent a large part of our savings to get the AoiK Golden Edition for about $60, and then I discovered the EDITOR. Ah, nostalgia. Do you guys have any similar memories of AoK? Or weren't you as young as I was when i first played them, to be able to play the same demo over and over again just because it was so awesome?

Never played the demo; I purchased both parts at the same time. I do recall installing the expansion for a few months since my friend didn't have it and I didn't want to spoil myself (that, and when I did install it, the music was worse ).

We played the demo when it first came out and everyone was absolutely hooked to it. I remember struggling to defeat the English in the Battle of Falkirk scenario, only to know these days how much of a walk-over the scenario actually is!
After that, we immediately went out and bought the full version when it was released. We'd never done that for any game before. In some sense, Age of Kings revolutionised my household's sense of PC games.
But yeah, the map editor had my soul the very first day upon playing the full version. I actually didn't buy the Conquerors until 2005, which is to say I didn't even know of it until about then.
