Oh yes, I definitely remember. Too bad it's typical of Activision games from the Win9x period in that they absolutely hate running on modern computers.
MechVM works to an extent, but for 31stCC, I want to run the 3dfx Glide version, and for Mercenaries, I want to run version 1.1 with dynamic salvage and other tweaks and fixes, even with the MeX shell if at all possible (similar to NAIS, but for Mercs 1.1).
For those, I may very well have to build a desktop specifically for them and all the other quirky games from that period.

nvm, that was Mech Warrior 4 I'm thinking of.

I played them religiously but never got into the online games where you either boated or died.
And yeah, they are downright impossible to play anymore without some serious, serious work on your part.

Now that I've got that out of the way, who remembers this bad boy? I used to mess around with it, not knowing how to actually play it. I would also play with the cheats on and such. It wasn't until a few years back that I decided to revisit it and actually play through it seriously. By then, I had already lost the CD and so had to find... ahem... other ways of getting the game. I also had the Mercenaries expansion, but didn't get to play much of it because some asshole used my computer wrong or something and caused it to crash every time I ran the game.
Oh, yeah, getting it to run on my modern machine was a bitch. This game is what I think of whenever I see the abbreviation MW2.
A fistful of me.
