The Gamewyze in Plano, TX has 8 pods, and are willing to travel with them to conventions. They used to run the 4.10 BattleTech software, about a year ago, but due to hardware issues are now on FireStorm most of the time. 4.10 was the best mech sim I've ever played. The mech management features were my favorite part. Every time I sat down, I had a custom configuration of coolant, generators and triggers I'd set up. It was like a ritual. The only thing it didn't have was configurable mecha. A Madcat was a Madcat was a Madcat. No swapping in extra LRMs instead of PPCs or any such. You could unbalance things too easily that way, or such is the theory. From what I understand, they are now doing SiteLink games of Firestorm, with up to 16 pilots, They also have 'league nights' I think they call them... for clan on clan beatings, based around a turn-based strategy game with in-pod combat. I haven't been in in months, but it sounds pretty awesome. Also, once a month they do an all-nighter, $25 for as many missions as you can stand 9AM-9PM. Anyhow, if anyone here is in the Dallas area and wants to check it out, $10 for your first 5 missions, and I'll come play with any excuse possible. ;) That's enough of that rant. sorry. --Maeglin |

There was a game, almost ten years ago now, called MechForce, that was basically what Gryph wrote about. Persistant stats and everything. It didn't have ranks or anything, and you could choose whatever mech you wanted, but other then that, yeah. Push to talk, interference from weapons fire, etc. Awesome, awesome game. -- -Pasha "I invented Warp Drive, whatta ya got?" "I'm the Norse God of Mecha." "Well, I guess you win then." |
