Well Pingsteal told me about an old favorite of mine with a new Face. I used to play Mechwarrior in its first 3 iterations. Back when you played via modem! Good gravy they have come a loooong way since then. If you like a futuristic FPS I do recommend you give this one a try. Free accounts are available.

MWO: The Future Is War

Thanks Pingsteal.

I play mechwarrior online right now. They are still in beta but its free to play (there is a cash store for certain things but you can choose to enver buy any of it). There are a few bugs but overall experience is pretty good IMO.

3rd party process that extracts all the files and dumps them in a folder of your choice ....

because the 'main executable' is 32 bit it runs fine, but when you actually try to load a mission in bombs trying to configure Glide ....

you can Google Mech W 2 and Win 7 64 ... there is a comprehensive website with several step by step guides ...

non of which worked for me, I just started installing 'Glide' wrappers, until I found one that would load a mission


oh and I used the Mech Warrior Windows 95 ATI Rage 3D version

there was a DOS ver.

The Titanium TrilogyEdit

MechWarrior 2: The Titanium Trilogy was released in 1997 and contains all three MechWarrior 2 games with added support for Windows 95 and 3D accelerated video hardware. Including 16-bit graphics (as opposed to the original 8-bit), which vastly changed the look of the original game.
some have had success with the TT ver. and glide wrappes

I did fine a patch that would merge a DOS Ver. with the TT version

it took about 2 hrs to get running ... while technically it plays in 1080 with out changing my monitor res. it is really 800 x 600 blown up


which looks fine


how to install mechwarrior 2 ( most versions ) easy!
