Really nice collection there man! I too, am into mech games. Mainly just the simulations though. "Weapons online, engines online....all systems nominal." Heehe

Howeveer I don't see Mechwarrior 2 Platnum? They made a Mechwarrior 2 with better graphics and more content.
The mechwarrior 2 mercenaries I have is a platinum version. Its just that I would need the original 3DFX voodoo card to get the better graphics. I actually originally bought the voodoo addon card to play that game. Also most of the titanium versions work only on windows95/98 and if youre on xp youll need virtual pc to run them. Even then the titanium version contains the 1.1 patch for mercs which greatly enhances the gameplay so its still good.

In the list you could also include Heavy Gear 1&2 allthough I played them through like ages ago. Matrix games also has mech game called Titans of Steel - Warring suns.

Looking glass also made a mech game long time ago (I think its abandonware now) called "Terra Nova". I played it through (5 years ago?) and its easily one of the best ones out there:



Those who are into multiplayer prolly should check open source game called MegaMek. Its a board game conversion I think.

After that I guess its time to move on consoles. Mech assault on x-box next.
