Re: Comparison of Mechwarrior 2:31st CC 3D accelerated versi

You need to give some more details. Where don't it run? When you try to start mech2.exe or when trying to launch a mission?

Re: Comparison of Mechwarrior 2:31st CC 3D accelerated versi

I played some scenarios on the Titanium edition and it surprised me that some levels actually look worse on the Titanium version than on the PowerVR (which is the best of the 31st CC 3D versions). Add that together that I now have to wait a week for shipping of my Battlepack copy I got for 6 dollars ...

Battlepack was released in March of 1997 and like the later Titanium Trilogy, it included three CD's that had revised versions of the MW2 series, in this case: MW2, GBL, & Netmech. (Unlike Titanium, the third CD ...

Re: Comparison of Mechwarrior 2:31st CC 3D accelerated versi

Nope, generally seems you have most of em covered.
Only one I can think of that you missed is the Battlepack edition. This version is similar to titanium, but it is only 256 colors.

I am glad someone is doing this. I had considered doing something similar for a long time, but didn't want to spend ...
