If you want brand new condition for your collection, then this might not be it for you. Unlike the AoE II discs, the AoE Gold Edition disc has no disk tray to sit on! So, it's just freely floating around in the plastic case, which is a little worrisome to me because that might scratch the CD in the near future. Please be aware this might happen to yours! So, I've kept them on much to my displeasure. There's also, as seen in the picture, strong tape on the top and bottom of the slipcover Sadly, attempting to remove these adhesives would leave a terrible tear on the slipcover. There's a plastic hanger glued to the back of the slipcover. All CDs WORK! :D Installation and playing work fine on my 64-bit Windows 10 Home. NO DISC SCRATCHES! Discs are in excellent condition. The case is in overall good shape with some MINOR WEAR. But I took a gamble, and I am glad I did! Plus, I had my share of bad experiences on Amazon. Many years later and now an adult, I still love it and nerd out over it! At first, I was a bit skeptical and worried it would be the wrong product (I mean, the Amazon description didn't even apply to the Age of Empires Collector's Edition! Lol). Since I was a child, I've always been a fan of the AoE franchise when Age of Empires released on October 15, 1997.
