    Just fyi, MW1 was pretty great (I mean, simulated 3d via vector lines, 16 colors, maybe like 5-10 frames per second) - one of my favorite DOS games in the 386 days

      I’ve seen a couple screenshots but I’ve never seen it running, and god help you get a copy and actually run it these days.

      MW2 was just…such a beginning. I was fairly young when that game came out and had no idea that Battletech was a thing even after playing Mechwarrior for a few years, so this is a genuine question: Did Battletech feel and sound the way it does before MW2? Every Battletech-related soundtrack I’ve been exposed to reminds me of MW2’s, That intersection between tribal drums, overdriven guitar and bombastic strings that just IS how Battletech sounds, did that exist before MW2?
