It's sad really, but there are like 2 video clips of the old MPBT Solaris on YouTube, and less than 10 actual in game screens available that I've seen on Google. Does anyone have any old screens of the original AOL game? I will admit that for years (well before finding out this game was being made), I scoured the internet for some kind of conversion and downloadable version of the original game that would allow me to play either MPBT or the AOL Air Warrior again.

Great site! The tables of organization are a high point as well as the screen caps. They did have my hopes up with an empty download section titled "game files".

And I believe I have the front end of both Solaris/Airwarrior on a CD somewhere.

Why does it seem that some game types have regressed in a way since then. MPBT had a better framework for battles than we do here infortunately.

Air Warrior had a massive active world. I miss the days where I could join up with a bomber crew and be a gunner with like 5 or 6 others on the same plane, texting as we approached the main continent. Recently I checked out the World of Warplanes, hoping it would be like Air Warrior, but unfortunately it's a super arcade third person game without even cockpits for the planes.

Agree, I would still love to play MPBT:EGA and Solaris even with the weaker graphics. Unfortunately we take what we can get and hope one day we will have something like the good old days. Maybe one day this game will become that dream, either way the B-Tech community is large enough to keep the dream from fading away.


As for old stuff, I have plenty hiding away on drives. Still have the 99 Gencon poster on the wall right above my monitor.

Honored Dracs.

I have a copy of in game pics which belong, to punk. There was I believe in an earlier thread, a link to a site with 30 or so in game images, other than those on MPBT.

I can host them if needed.

Those MPBT 3025 days were good.

I can recal at least 2 times in the short period I was in the beta when we owned your worlds.

I look forward to it if and when they introduce planetary capture for community warfare.

Long time no see, Tarl.

I still have an old GameStorm disc from back in the day myself.

Used to have many screen shots of the leaderboards and stuff. Starting keeping lots of screen shots when I heard MPBT was going down. My hard drive got fried though in the early 2000's and I lost all of it. Boo.

Anyone have the last Champion screen before the reset? I made it like 15 minutes before the wipe! 4 bucks an hour! PFAH!
