Mechwarrior 2 - 31st Century Combat (BOXED) (DOS) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not a gamer, mostly because I find so few games that I think are worth playing.MW2 is so far off the charts that it caught my attention.This delightful game was the first to introduce full 3D (including character models, etc.) real-time graphics.It had active sound panning, was written to run at resolutions of up to 1024x768 with paletted 24-bit color, and had a soundtrack that many still listen to today, despite having moved on from the game itself.All in all an absolute gem for its time.

What's equally impressive is how well it stands up to the games of today.Complicated missions whose objectives change in the middle of heated battles, very varied environments, stunningly good controls, and the list goes on.If you've never played the game before and you're used to games from the modern era of graphics cards, you might appreciate the Titanium edition of this game rather than the DOS version; it's hardware accelerated, has textured geometric landscapes, ambient lighting, and various other changes that might ease the transition.For me, however, the DOS version will always reign supreme, and if you like the Titanium version you might want to give the DOS version a try.It's better in ways that matter.:)

MechWarrior 4 Compilation Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The MechWarrior 4 series of games has been around a very long time and has a very active online support community. League play still goes on. In fact, I am a member of one online team (Lords of Destiny) and was a member of a team playing the old NetMech version of MW2, the Northwind Highlanders). However, be warned: Microsoft does not support this franchise, having put all of its MechWarrior work into the Xbox and abandoned the PC years ago. The two latest Mech games are Xbox only. This is not that bad since they are not as good as the older PC games in graphics, game play, or customization of mechs. Also be warned - the two additional Mech Packs of Inner Sphere and Clan Mechs are NOT included in this package and still must be purchased separately - M$ is squeezing every dime out of the franchise that it can. On the other hand, the MekTek community has supplied dozens of additional Mechs, weapons, and maps, so you can get a lot more for free (contributions cheerfully accepted, of course!). Still, if you like SF games, and especially if you like the giant mech concept, this package will give you the "pick of the litter." Grab it while you can as undoubtedly people will continue to play this game for years to come.
