I played this game a long long time ago, back then I was so little that i didn't even know that turn based rpgs and RPGs in general existed. I didn't understand english at all back then but even so the cover picked my interest. I still remember the nights I stayed up playing this game, the concentration of having a to attach, sew or weld new parts for my powerful monster. In general this was an incredible game back them, wish i could play it again.
the game of my childhood, this game defined my personality and how freak i am JAJAJAJ I absolutely love it the desing, the gameplay I still play it sometimes and still great

BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' Revenge
BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' RevengeBattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' Revenge is the sequel to BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception. It is the year 3029 during the Succession Wars; as the nineteen-year-old Mechwarrior Jason Youngblood of the Lyran Commonwealth (House Steiner), it is time to strike back at the treacherous forces of the Draconis Combine (House Kurita), who captured Jason's father in the original BattleTech, and whom he has sworn to rescue. Unlike its predecessor, the game inclines more towards RTS (real-time strategy) than role-playing gameplay style. The player will lead the forces of 31st Century BattleMechs (Warrior Robots) in a daring mission of rescue and revenge. The game consists of two parts - the storyline, which gives the player guidance and direction, and changes with the outcome of every decision made; and the scenarios, which are the arenas where the player watches his/her maneuvers unfold in real time. The game has digital speech and a technically advanced musical score.

MechCommander was released in 1998. It had an expansion which was later combined with the original title and released as MechCommander Gold. A sequel also exists (distributed by Microsoft)—MechCommander 2. MicroProse also used many of the ideas in their 2000 Starship Troopers game.
