Do you mean Age of Empires?

If you played the second installment already, my personal opinion is no.

If you didn't, I'd strongly recommend you try the second one instead.^^

Age of Empires II is much better in terms of, graphics, setting, gameplay, extent (personal opinion here, of course). But to my mind, the original AoE still beats III.
