The CD case was all warped due to heat, the CD didn't survive either :/
How long was it there? Some years, i think
I remember begging my mom for this game when it was in a large box at Costco when I was a kid. That giant stompy robot was just too cool.
I remember it being right next to Wheel of Time. Didn't get to play that one though. :)
This game along with StarSiege was a huge part of my childhood.
Gotta say though, once you've felt the sheer ridiculous power of an OmniMech, playing Succession Wars era games took a bit of getting used to.
MechWarrior 2 and 3 allowed for some ridiculous cheese builds that were so fun(ny). :)
