I didn't know there were so many MechWarrior games published. My first and last battletech game was Mechwarrior 2: 31st century combat when I as 8 years old.

Yeah there's been quite the number of titles (Mechwarrior and Battletech related). I remember finding an old Battleforce game on my dad's Amiga library of games years ago. I still have a box for Crescent Hawk's Revenge somewhere.

I started playing on the Table Top before they even made lead figures. we used cardboard pictures on little plastic hex holders



Years later i was the first of my friends to buy crescent hawks inception, and the only one to actually have a computer, an old 8088 pc. Ive played just about every one since.

Is it bad that some of the mechs looked cooler in those cutouts than even the remake ones PGI has?

[Tarl Cabot]

I actually like the Awesome thats in that cutout...

Though they included Living Legends, I did not see EGA Multiplayer Battletech (MPBT 3025) which used the original Mechwarrior as the basis for its combat engine, SVGA MPBT which became MPBT Solaris then MPBT 3025 beta w/EA which had a cloned MW4 combat engine, all done by Kesmai.

And hai, Crescent Hawks Inception and Crescent Hawks Revenge.

There was Also MekTek, which was a mod of the MW4 engine, they went on to include many mechs not included in the Mercs rollout

Those cutouts do look pretty cool. That Spider looks vicious! Wish I could have that in this game.
