I remember begging my mom for this game when it was in a large box at Costco when I was a kid. That giant stompy robot was just too cool.

I remember it being right next to Wheel of Time. Didn't get to play that one though. :)

This game along with StarSiege was a huge part of my childhood.

Gotta say though, once you've felt the sheer ridiculous power of an OmniMech, playing Succession Wars era games took a bit of getting used to.

MechWarrior 2 and 3 allowed for some ridiculous cheese builds that were so fun(ny). :)

did it clean it good? the bots ive seen tend to glitch out too often

That game came out in 94 or 95. I use to play it on a 486 DX2 50

How long has it been since you've cleaned your car, kimosabe? 🤣

Oh shit, I've been getting calls about your car's expired warranty.

Monster3D... I was so freaking amazed when I got one... Nothing like the monitor flashing as that pass through switched the active graphics card....

When I was in my teens I played Mechwarrior, a LOT, with my friend Dan. I don't remember what version it was at the time, but it was early on. One of us would build a Flea and try to take down the other in an ultra-heavy mech.

Dan died about 2 years ago. I just went on an emotional roller coaster for a few minutes. Hug your friends.

Pop that disc into a CD player and listen to all the level background music!

The mercenaries expansion of this game was my jam

Also for anyone who doesn't know about it, I highly recommend this youtube channel

This game had some of the most immersive hardware controls and interfaces. It supported a Thrustmaster Mark 2flight stick for your right hand control to aim your weapons:

...a Thrustmaster Mark 2 throttle control for walking speed:

... Thrustmaster pedals for torso twist:

...and even i-glasses VR headset (with head motion tracking that would turn the Mech pilots head inside the cockpit!)

Too bad bad about the disc. I get replacement jewel cases by pulling junk music CDs out of the local thrift store's trash cans and then toss the inserts.

Best game. Amazing soundtrack

Your car has a diamond monster 3d? ?

Now you just have to buy the controller.

I think they're <$1000 these days!

This and Descent are the reasons I play with an inverted Y axis to this day.

I remember watching the Mechcommander opening scene a bunch, which apparently got a remaster.

Looks like the Mechwarrior intros all got remasters--here's MW2
