The graphics are now made up of texture mapped polygons, texture mapped floors, and light sourcing has been added. What the latter means is that when you fire a salvo, the resultant flash lights up the area round that projectile. It looks nice, but it isn't going to make a massive difference to how you playing. Hang on a minute, though. Remember another game that has those?
Begins with Q. And can anyone remember what the minimum spec for that game was? A Pentium. You can turn the various options off, to run on a lesser computer, which will be a relief to those with s.
Sonically, Mercs has similar speech effects to Mechwarrior 2 ; you are helpfully informed , by a disembodied female voice when you have destroyed an enemy mech, or when bits start falling off your mech. Or the heartlifting 'mission terminated'.
Unfortunately, you're never told why your mission has been terminated. Even when you're returned to the briefing screen, it's impossible to tell quite what happened to end the mission; an irritating omission. From what I've said so far, you might thing that Mercs is complete rubbish. It's not. The actual mission parts of the game are a lot of fun. It can get quite frantic, weapons and limbs being blown off your mech, as you try to make it back to the pick-up point.
And if you haven't got Mechwarrior 2 , I suggest you pick up Mercs. However, in my opinion, Mercs is too flawed to make it a worthy purchase for owners of Mechwarrior 2 ; granted, it comes with a net-play option, but there's a add on option for the original Mechwarrior 2. Good, but Mercs doesn't quite hit the mark. Thanks to Damon, you can now download a full ISO preinstalled.

Make at least KB free disk space available and try running setup again". Am i missing something? MekBanditR -2 points Windows version. I loved this game as a child and hoped I would be able to play it again. Unfortunately after 4 hours of trial and error I gave up because nobody can write some decent instructions on how to get this thing to work. I'm very comfortable using dosbox and command line, but the issue here is that it doesn't run on its own. You would think if the Author went through all the trouble of making a guide and putting it out there for idiots like me he would at least check to make sure the download link contains the correct files.
Anyway, it sounds like the MechVM version is shit too, and others aren't having any sound in game. We need a bundled rar file that we can extract, put in our dosbox directory, load it up and go..

It was fast enough that you were almost flying and nothing could track or hit you. Good times. Zsasz 3 points DOS version. I remember being 16 playing the first game. It ate away at hours of time. This game turned bargaining for a few space bucks and getting a new mech into something else.
It and X-wing should be re-mastered yesterday. These ate up hours of my life that I'd like to continue to have devoured. I love them. Obvious 3 points. I got this game bundled with my sidewinder joystick, and played it many many many hours. The graphics were good for it's day, and I loved all the little touches like the HUD modes, and customization. If you do use a stick I would say that rudder control is essential.
The game has great ambiance, and even when things are quiet and you are making your way to the next waypoint I never had the sense of boredom or wishing there was more action on a 10km hike. If anything "killed" this game for me, it was myself. I was tinkering with loadouts and stumbled upon an unbeatable mech design, at that point the game became too easy and I moved on to waste even more of my life on X-Wing vs.
TIE Fighter, a game that I would rate x better than EA's sad cashgrab even though they had access to the entire prop studio and production materials , and would still be playing that today if it didn't feel so clunky in an emulator. My "magic" loadout was a Nova chassis with 5 large lasers enough heatsinks to fire them and not blow yourself up, Jump jets not enough to fly but enough to "skip" along the landscape at approx Kph, and whatever armor you can fit in after that.
You become too maneuverable to hit and a single strike on a leg 2 vs. You just need to get good at mobile sniping. Mercenaries was nice too, but featured only the Blackhawk variant of the Nova, with no torso twist. So I wasn't as much of a fan. Same as I will take Xwing vs. Just no comparison in quality. Nano 0 point DOS version. Aries 2 points. OK, the last comment I posted was how to get the grungy old dos version to work from within DosBox.

CUE file, not the. BIN file! Type MECH2 and your game should start! If not, I have NO idea, sorry DireWolf89 -4 points Windows version.
