MechWarrior: The First 3D BattleMech Experience
We've all played MechWarrior 2, but who's played MechWarrior on DOS or SNES? With this video, I'll be taking a look at both. Want to see the humble beginnings of BattleTech's biggest IP? Well, this is where it's at. No, I'm not a BattleTech pro! But I do respect and enjoy the franchise. If you're interested in more mech related content - I post videos on Wednesday and Saturday! 2024 is going to be a big year, so this is where you'll want to be if you're looking for mech-gaming content!

i've been meaning to post this for a while now, so here it is
The Gateway GP6-400
this is my retro pc setup - a modified gateway gp6-400 from 1999. this model in particular really appealed to me; it's powerful enough to run most games up to around 1998 or so, but it still has fairly realistic performance for a typical gaming pc of that era. i still went ahead and swapped out some parts as well as added some new ones in order to get exactly what i want out of it, however.
here's the specs:
- Pentium II 400mhz
- 128mb RAM
- 250gb HDD (win98 partition only uses 6.4gb for accuracy
- Voodoo3 AGP graphics card
- Integrated Ensoniq AudioPCI audio
- ES1868F ISA audio card for DOS gaming
- DVD-RW drive
- 3.5" floppy drive
- 250mb ZIP drive
on the pc there exist two operating systems: windows 98 second edition and ms-dos 6.2 with windows 3.1. now, you likely find this odd considering that ms-dos 7.1 is already accessible from windows 98, but i reeeally wanted a true early 90s dos experience. so, i have a full installation of dos 6.2 on a separate 425mb partition (the size of a decent hdd from 1994 or so) that i access via boot disk.
as you can also see from the pictures, there's a crt monitor as well: the 17" princeton eo710. it was expensive - well-kept crt monitors tend to be that way unfortunately - but it works wonderfully and the display is gorgeous. i try to keep it at around half brightness and contrast, which can make seeing things in games hard at times, but i really would rather not risk wearing it down lol.
overall, it works splendidly. i'm able to run any games made up to around 2001 or so fairly well, and while there's been issues dealing with stupid win98 bullshit, it hasn't been too bad to work on. it's been a dream of mine to own a computer like this for ages, and now that i finally have one...i'm really happy :)
here's some more pics

@esselfortium 's KDIKDIZD looking amazing on the crt (it looks so much better in person):
and finally, some half-life along with a better view of the front of the pc:
