This game was my introduction to both the MechCommander world and RTS games in general and I loved it when I first played it and loved it years later, and still love it now, but it's just gotten so hard to play. I could probably make it work by setting up some emulation but that's a little deeper than I want to go to replay a game. But I miss being called "skipper" when I'm being told about weapon upgrades and all the full movie videos from the characters are Gold.

You had no bases to build. But, for as long as it fit the tonnage limit, you could load as many 'Mechs as you wanted. I'd usually run with a trio of Sha Yus that would rush at Assaults. After a few shots, i'd have a salvage team flying in with one of my 'Mech Warriors into the recently-emptied Assault 'Mech.

Loved the way this game plays. I have always been a fan of Age of Empires and this franchise takes the Strategy Game in a different direction. I remember hours of “Happy Gaming” unwinding after work Battling, and then building my Mechs with salvage. I Would be absolutely thrilled for this to come to GOG and would Purchase it immediately.

The 3D tactics and the newer graphics make the game different then it's predecessor and the selection of available mechs is better as there is new mechs as well as some classics. I played this solo and the 3D element makes some of the missions easier but also makes them harder. I want to play this along with the other mechcommander and mechwarrior games and getting the games from here would be easier to do so

The first truly 3D management RTS! Crossroads and tracks! An exciting story! You had to pay attention to every little thing during the game. Before starting the mission, it was at least as cool to assemble the team! The 2nd best game in the world! I love it! I remember playing it through at least 10 times! But I can't do anything with the physical disk anymore... :(

If you like mech warrior you'll probably like this, it's more tactical than the FPS games because strategy matters a lot where as in the FPS games you could cover up a weak setup with piloting/gunning skills. Kinda surprised to see this on gog wishlist though cause Microsoft released this game free many years ago unless they took back the offer.

I played this game so much when I was a teen. I would play it a ton more. I was really hoping the battletech games that came out where going to be like this. Sadly I like these games better.
Honestly I played this at my auntie's house, shame I lost the physical copy and nearly forgot about this gem. It came 2nd in-line next to StarCraft Broodwar with 3rd being Supreme Commander.

It looks like there's a resurgence in interest for this now that Win 11 makes the abandonware version almost unplayable. It would be worth a great deal of worthless, useless money to be able to just buy it and play it, rather than try one of the multi-step walkthroughs that, might, still get it to work.

I have been waiting for other games like this (especially in battetech genre).. Sadly there are none. The last one i think was turnbased. :( This game was good customization.
Those games also need your vote!

His friend Nate then appears and states that he too received a ticket through the mail. But he is not too worried about it and is very happy to get to go to Horrorland. The child asks his mother if they could go and they get dropped off at HorrorLand. As they arrive, they find a monster at the Front Entrance. Nate questions it to be someone as a swamp monster. The guy in the costume says that he is a "Horror" as in "Horrorland". The child says he has a great costume and the Horror lets them in, and then he laughs suspiciously. At the Theme Park, they both go to Vampire Village where they have made the Fright Restriction, where the rides are more "fun". The child feels nervous and suggests that they should go back to the ride Calamity Canyon. Then Nate runs to a fake coffin and starts to act strangely. He acts as a vampire, lays onto the coffin, & it closes on him. The child struggled to open the coffin, until it opened and Nate disappeared. Meanwhile, after the child goes on the Roller Ghoster to save a girl named Gigi, he tells her what is going on with Horrorland, until a police Horror (Monster Police) tells him to hand over the girl, they both run to get away until the Horror trips over and they both hide near Roller Ghoster, fooling the Horror. Gigi tells him a hiding place in Vampire Village where he can find her. At Mad Labs, the child gets a Horror mask from a Horror mask shop. It was the shop owner's last one. The child says it feels like skin, until he puts it on. It then gets stuck on his head and he starts to feel funny, until he turns into a Horror. Meanwhile in the Secret Tunnels, the child gets caught by Horrifico. He knows that the child is imposter & changes him back into his human form The child says that he is getting out of Horrorland with all the pieces of the ticket.
