Inspired by Youngblood's thread, anyone here who was/ is into the battletech universe? I loved it as a kid, owned all the computer games, read the books, watched the animated series...
I was cool back then.
What's happened to it? I always thought it'd make a great universe for movies.
Oh, and the music for Mechwarrior 2 is definitely the best videogame soundtrack.
I had a friend who was really into it and he had everything related to it as well. He got me into playing the Collectible Card Game. I think I still have the cards around somewhere.
I played the shit out of the original tabletop Battletech game. I was already out of it by the time the computer games were around.
"If there was only a way that I couldn't even any less than I already can't then I'd gladly not, but I think I've entered some quantum paradox, dark matter levels of can't evening where the total absolute value of not evenness exceeds all ability to explain the can'ting." - MR RUBATO
I played a ton of the Mechwarrior game for SNES. I always wanted to get into battletech, but never had the chance. I have all the corebooks somewhere...
I played one of the PC games as well, but it wasn't as good the SNES one.
I also have a old I think PC game where its mostly in badly translated Japanese. Its awesome, but really hard to play on my laptop. Mostly because I have no coordination to speak of.
So, yeah, I love giant robot games, I just never got to play them as much as I wanted.

Man, I have loved Mechwarrior since it's original version, called BattleMechs. It was a minis game that came with two snap together plastic 'mechs: one Shadow Hawk and one Griffin. I have played every version of the computer games AND the collectible card game, too. I even once interview the designer, Jordan Weiseman, when I worked for About.com. Oh, I also interviewed for a job at WizKids, the company Weiseman founded after the ran his original company (FASA) into the ground (he recently ran WizKids into the ground, too).
