Robots move convincingly, and the 3D polygonal graphics are exciting for its time.

The role playing was primarily textual - reading paragraphs, choosing between fight or run, and then being killed or moving on accordingly. The game's main focus, robot fighting, is very exciting. Combat usually lasts under 10-20 minutes because the maps are small, the opponents are few, just with less dense graphics and more abbreviated gameplay.Overall, Mechwarrior is a must-have for anyone even with a slight interest in giant robot games.

It sets the standard for other games in the giant robots genre, and its role-playing elements are sorely missing from today's mech games where the focus has shifted to strategy and 3D graphics than plot and atmosphere.

Vryus 2012-07-10 0 point DOS versionI loved this game as a kid. My friend and I used to play the board game (BattleTech, not the MechWarrior RPG). I used to sit in front of the screen manning the guns on the keyboard. My friend would sit next to me with the old Tandy joystick.

We would run as many missions as we could that way. So much fun!The only funny quirk- You can take out almost anything in a Locust by running up to it (even the leg of a BattleMaster) and then just pounding like heck on the machine guns until you blow the leg out.So much fun!
