Unsure about Mad Professor Mariarti. I was too young to really get it (not that it seems that good anyway) but I did appreciate that it has a TARDIS hidden in it.

Those two equally. I swear, it is a coincidence that they are in the same franchise.
I first played them both when I was 8, in bootleg form with butchered translations, and did not quite realize that they were

Hey #battletech , #mechwarrior, and #mechcommander fans, if you were going to pick 16 mechs, 4 from each weight class, what would they be?

Also special shout out to Battletech's answer to "Never enough Dakka": The Bane. Those are 10 mech-sized sniper miniguns, 5 on each arm.
Also spotting the MADIIC's brother, the Warhammer IIC, MechCommander 2's boy Blood Asp, and the mini Amaris' Folly, Stone Rhino.

BIRD DOG I think. It offers a lot of mission variety, and a lot of chained missions. Just like Mechcommander. And the whole "soften up hard targets for the main invasion" really fits with the MW5 design and gameplay.

I haven't played anything but the Mechwarrior or Mechcommander games so not going to spoil the comments, but it's the feeling of being in this enormous hunk of metal crunching through undergrowth, on snow and just annihilating everything you want
.. until other ones show up!

Okay, I have a question for the BattleTech players.
What is your single favorite thing about the games?
Is it the lore, the battle, the rpg elements, the setting, what do you LOVE about it?

And, lastly (at least for now), are my OC merc company, the New Dallas Rangers. This paint scheme is based off the colors I chose when I played MechCommander 2 for the first time.

Here's Mechcommander 2 and Warcraft 3 running on a brand new computer.
MC2 required some hardware emulation and cracking the disc, but it works.
Warcraft 3 runs perfectly, except for the silence during the cutscenes.

Ils ne sont pas en train d’en faire un nouveau? (Et puis le Battletech de HBS était il y a pas si longtemps)

just because @legalminimum.bsky.social liked this I'm going to point out that Sony and Nintendo have NOTHING as good as Microsoft's extremely friendly support for modders making Halo projects or releasing the MechCommander 2 source code and we should be pushing them to do that kind of thing too
You can be both mad at Microsoft for firing workers to bolster AI numbers AND note that Microsoft is leagues ahead of Sony and Nintendo when it comes to pro-consumer features.

In fact I was a little disappointed by the original Game.
In MechCommander you could interact with buildings - capture/use turrets, sensors, doors etc.; that opened different tactical ways to solve missions. BTA droppend that. Only fighting and brute forcing.

Mainly playing some games I loved that are a bit of a task to get running on Windows 10/11 (MechWarrior 3, Starsiege). I'm also trying out Tonic Trouble for a pal and playing around with other games like MechCommander. In general it's just really cool having a hardware emulator like this exist now.
