MechWarrior 3

Action Game from MicroProse, by Zipper Interactive

3D action game based on the BattleTech RPG universe. Set in the 31st Century, the human race is divided into three warring factions who build giant robots known as Mechs to fight their battles. The linear missions are interspersed with cut sequences with an engaging overall story. There is also a multi-player option (for up to 8 players). Mechwarrior 3 incorporates more strategy than the previous titles in the series. This is partly due to the nature of the open-air 3D environments. The terrain demands tactical play. Also, in the later stages, when you control more than one Mech in battle, team tactics are required.

You have more Mechs to choose from than before. The Mechs are highly customizable, with a wide choice of weapons and it is also possible salvage enemy Mechs and parts after defeating them on the battlefield. The games graphics and sound are excellent. The AI is also impressive, making your enemies continually challenging. There is no mid-level saving.
