I was in hog heaven when I got a CH Products yoke along with rudder pedals to play MW2. It's like piloting a real mech, man!

There was a dual core Dell with a 23" monitor two days ago on the Dell site for under 0.

So, PoEtvers - what mech game should i pick up if i wanted to play one that will run on a 3 year old laptop, and doesn't look like shit?

This would be ,239.19 in today's money and worth every penny.

I forgot which mechwarrior game had it on their instruction manual but to play the game with best possible graphics you had to have at least 100 megs of ram. I believe this option was called hardcore rigs only!

Best memory of Mechwarrior 2 was my dad complaining that it took up his entire hard-drive at 70 megs.

Wow. Both the hosts and the game have not aged well...

It's certainly no Hover!, is it?

Alright, so I'm one of these "robot" things you call a "Mech Warrior".

Ha ha! Things in the past were less advanced than things in the present!

Things in the future will also be different than they are now!

This game was soooo badass.
even on a measly 1000$ computer

yeah but can it handle floating point calculation?

This game owned, no matter how crappy you had to make the graphics so it would run. You forgot about graphics pretty quickly, especially in multiplayer.

Built-in MPEG!
