I am a big fan, but I have found it very hard to get hold of any of the novels, and I didn't know about things like Mech Assault or Living Legends until a few days ago.

Been an Addict ever since...
In fact I still have the original floppies for all the old games.

Since then, I have read just about every book and played every game.

My friends and I played that for almost 10 years, until jobs and family pulled us in differnt directions, but as fortune would have it, Activition released Mechwarrior 2 (never did hear about mechwarrior 1), and I continued battling through the Battletech universe through Mechwarrior 4. But then game the dark ages, well litterally the Hero-clix Mechwarrior Dark Age, but that was truly a terrible terrible time.
And for nearly 10 more years I waited as Microsoft held the Mechwarrior license hostage, Bill Gates fearing the final rise of the machines, until at last the final boss was defeated and the license saved, and MWO became a reality.
Now if this does well maybe PGI will start working on Car Wars/ Autoduel/ Interstate 76

As far as BT proper - I first took interest when I saw some of the TRO's in a now defunct music/games/video games store.
I could kick myself for not picking them up; they were pre-unseens debacle versions.

I can't believe I never played BT until basically now.

I saw and bought the "Tales of the Black Widow Company"...

I was sold on BT ever since.

Still one of the best scenario books too!
I even owned the original "Blueprint Sets" still in the box.
I finally sold them on e-bay a few years ago for like $50.00 or so.
I kinda wish I hadn't done that now.

I was looking for a book to read in the summer holiday around 1997. I found the "Falcon Guard". At the and of the book I realised it was a part of a trilogy, so I had to get the remaining 2 book. When I was finnished the the three book I was a fan

I raed all the books which was available in Hungary, unfortunately not all the book are translated :-S
I played all the PC games at least 3 times

You can still get copies if those on ebay or amazon if you want. Just watch the quality of the books or u could get one thats falling apart

I also found a shop north of me that sold the figures i got a Hatchetman, Tundra Wolf, Forrestry Mech and a Koshi. If i remember rightly the Forrestry Mech was a gas powered mech always made me laugh to see exhaust pipes coming off it

During early 90's hooked-up with a group by the name of Hampton's Harrassers. Some MechForce top 20 ranked players. To offically become a member of the group each player had to test-out against three pilots with smaller (5 tons smaller) Mechs. You got to love the Wolfhound

Ran table-tops at Huricon and got to final rounds at Dragoncon



It has been awhile since I have played the table-top version.
I am looking forward to reboot.

Of course now I have a wife and kid and mostly dropped out of the gaming world, though I muxed as a tech recently until 3063's playerbase shrivelled up. I'm pretty hyped about MWO and MWT, and I get one or two nights a week that I can game for a couple hours. (World of Tanks is filling the gap til these bad boys ramp up.) Bring it!
