Hello, I miss this game.

Post by bowtie350 »

Hello fellow mechwarriors.

I have played since 1997 and loved the game very much. But stopped playing when hardware advanced and Win98 lost driver support. I have wanted to play again for a while now. Around 2008, I built a machine from old parts with drivers that would play nice with Win 98 SE so I could play Mech 2 and Mercs. Worked great for a few months, then the motherboard went bad. :(

Now my interest in the game has crept up again. Must have something to do with the movie Pacific Rim. So I am going try again with MechVM in Windows 7. If that doesn’t work, I will try Oracle’s VirtualBox (running in Win7) with an install of Win 98 SE.

Wish me luck and I hope to meet you all in an online match soon.
Mech 2 DOS, Mech 2 Mercs DOS/95, Mech 3. (Still looking for my old copies of GB MW2 and MW3 Pirate Moons)

Well mechvm should work. The multi though you can get right from the site out of the box.
Check by IRC. Be glad to play ya if I can catch ya when I am home. Usually get home weekdays 8 PM on average. Weekends usually on randomly
