Hello, I miss this game.

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.
