The CD case was all warped due to heat, the CD didn't survive either :/

How long was it there? Some years, i think

Mine came with a sidewinder joystick. Thank you Tiger Express. Had to spend $200+ for 4mb more of ram(8 total) just to run it.

Everybody must at least once try the loadout that racks your heat up to near-detonation but dumps enough PPC into an enemy to nuke them in one shot.

Are you looking at the one called MechWarriorQuadrology?

I'd also found https://www.myabandonware.com/game/mechwarrior-2-31st-century-combat-34i and also a portable MW2 that some redditor put together.

It’s been a while since I downloaded it, not sure. I just know it’s out there for $0 in various corners of the web.

Funny thing about this game. The back story for it is basically the same back story for StarCraft.

Played the everloving fuckjuice out of this game as a kid. On a voodoo 6! Man those were the days.

No worries, I'm sure one of these will work. The myabandonware.com link includes the manual and I believe the DOS version was the best so I'll give that a go once I've dug out my joystick.

I bought the sidewinder joystick because of it!

I should play games that use a joystick again. Or, you know, games in general.

Because of the way PC games were made back in the day you should be able to load that bad boy into a CD player and listen to the soundtrack. Works for me at least with my OG copy of that game.

Hey, those were the first two games I got to emulate - but including Descent 2.

Yeah dos joy + keyboard worked best for me but that was like a decade ago. I really liked the ghost bear dlc.
