I came here to chew bubble gum and play video games, and I got some bubblegum right here. You are most likely to find Smash Brothers and Mario Kart here.
I remember first playing this game on my Sega Saturn. Time was not kind to it, but at the time it was amazing. The follow-up Mechwarrior 3, was superior in almost every way.
That said, this was my first foray in mechanized combat that lead to the lifetime of infatuation over managing multiple systems in the best manner to slag an enemy battlemech.
This is the game that spawned the very successful MechWarrior series, and it was way ahead of its time. Released on DOS, with support for multiplayer over the internet, I spent a big chunk of my elementary school days glued to the computer playing this with my clan on Kali.
So what made this game great? The customization of the mechs. You play as a member of the Clans, so you have basically full control of the configuration of your mech. Want to go all-in on large lasers? Do it. All missiles? Do it. And pick any mech you want, as long as the tonnage is ok. No having to unlock or scavenge parts like all the recent mechwarrior games. Also, the graphics were, for the time, just incredible. REAL 3D! Not sprites, not 3d but with forced 2d interactions. You could literally walk up on top of a mountain and peek over it and specifically target your opponents weapons to knock them out of the game, or leg them if you were a coward.
Solid 5-star game, and I wish they'd do a remake with just updated graphics, because the variety of missions and worlds to fight on and mechs was just outstanding. All it needs is a face lift.
