I remember this game and it was great! control a small team of mechs in quite big open missions and carry forward the skills and equipment that you've salvage from the enemies choose different types of mech per mission but with a weight limit so you have to think about what the makeup of the team/mechs will be. A true classic underdog in the RTS genre
I played MechCommander Gold pre 2005, more than 20 years ago. This game is the one that introduced the entire Battletech franchise to me, and I remember I played single campaign of MCG night and day. And I return to this game recently, and totally zoned into this game. There are robust single campaign and multiplay community for this game at today, 2025 Apr 21. People can play this game using Windows 10 and 11, but because of compatibility issue, it is difficult to use MCG editor to create new missions and campaigns. Please bring back this game to Windows 10/11 with proper MCG Editor support, there are people who wants to not only play but also create new missions and campaigns for this game.

This series is really one of a kind! Miss the Mad Cats. Vote them back. So far none of the newer games can provide the similar tactical feeling of this OG. Miss it so much
Those games also need your vote!
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed KingDragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is the eighth installment in the Dragon Quest series, developed by Level-5 and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It was also later released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015. It is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game with random enemy encounters, simple turn-based combat mechanics, and management of a party consisting of four characters, each belonging to a clearly defined class. Unlike its predecessors in the series and most Japanese RPGs in general, the game features a continuous world with fairly vast landscapes and integrated towns and dungeons, as opposed to world map traveling and locations represented by icons. The game features full camera rotation and optional first-person view. Like in the previous Dragon Quest games, many objects can be interacted with; for example, barrels can be physically lifted, carried, and broken, to reveal items hidden within.

Other peoples also struggle to survive, to grow, and perhaps even to conquer. You have a city, a loyal populace, and a few troops; your power and magic should be sufficient to keep them alive. But beyond that, nothing is certain… Where will you go, what will you find, and how will you react? Will your trail be one of roses, or of blood?
