Story:MechCommander is the second real-time tactics (RTT) video game based on FASA's BattleTech/MechWarrior franchise (though often being called a real-time strategy game), developed by FASA Interactive and distributed by MicroProse. 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.Show more

Loved This as a kid and Played for hours and always playing solo. I had to work hard and often restart mission 3 in the first campaign to get the mad cat with all the weapons still functioning. This game is a gem and it and the Gold edition should have been on here years ago in my honest opinion
A game that still looks great today, plays great too - aged far better than the sequel, and one that is an absolute pig to get running on Modern systems - Please GOG you're my only hope
The first management RTS!
Crossroads and tracks!
An exciting story!
You had to pay attention to every little thing during the game. Before starting the mission, it was at least as cool to assemble the team!
The best game in the world!
I love it!
I remember playing it through at least 20 times!
But I can't do anything with the physical disk anymore... :(
Spending hours trying to get the first Madcat.... I mean Timber Wolf, was always worth it. The actors and voices lines still hold up, great gameplay, cinematics and story.
Mech Commander is A super unique RTS Experience since the game doesn't have the traditional resource gathering mechanics instead opting for a load-out system where you pick what you launch with. Because of this the game becomes both a mechanical challenge of knowing where and how to move your units, as well as a puzzle of making sure you have tools for different threats like Long range missiles for possibly out ranging turrets in a base you're invading. Super fun and definitely worth being preserved!
An incredible game, and a blast in multiplayer. I remember logging in to the MSN Gaming Zone and just playing for an hour or two against random people. There's nothing else that quite like this smaller-focus tactical game.
Shout out to Duane Decker composing a soundtrack that still has tracks seared in my memory 27 years later.
I absolutely love this game, spent countless of hours playing it as a kid, and I even play on occasion now (2025), almost three decades later. It is one of those games that were obviously developed with passion, which shows in almost every aspect of the game - from the cool intro cinematic to mission design, game physics, mech selection, etc. I would love to see this classic on GOG, even though there are several fan versions and mods available out there.
A very difficult game with lots of customizable options. Love the mechs, the pilots voices, the animations.
Often played the mission 3 to get the MadCat early in game. The problem to make the less damage possible made me play that mission to the point of desperation! 😃
I love MechCommander 2 also...but the first is my favorite!
I would love Microprose ( or any other ) to do a MechCommander 3! Also i'm a entusiast player of MechWarrior 5 and Battletech!
Please bring these games back! 😃

About the Imperator Augustus Campaign Pack
The Imperator Augustus Campaign Pack is a new playable campaign for ROME II, which rivals the original ROME II Grand Campaign in both scope and scale. This campaign comes as part of Total War™: ROME II – Emperor Edition and is available as a free, automatic update to existing owners of Total War™: ROME II.
The Imperator Augustus Campaign Pack is set in 42 BC during the chaotic aftermath of Caesar’s grisly murder. The republic remains whole, but its soul is divided as three great men, the members of the Second Triumvirate, hold the future of Rome in the palms of their hands.
Octavian, Caesar’s adoptive son and the heir to his legacy.
Marc Antony, Caesar’s loyal friend and most trusted lieutenant.
Lepidus, Pontifex Maximus of Rome and the man who secured Caesar’s dictatorship.
With the territories of The Republic divided between them and the military might of Rome at their beck-and-call, the members of The Second Triumvirate are each in a position to make a bid for leadership, and rule Rome as its first – and only – emperor.
However, external forces are on the move, looking to exploit the instability of Rome and expand their own territories. Will you fight as a defender of Rome and defeat the other members of the Triumvirate? Or lead another faction on a campaign of conquest and expansion, and take advantage of the chaos as the Roman civil war rages?
Playable Factions
Players may embark on a new Campaign as one of the following playable factions:
Marc Antony
Lepidus
Octavian
Pompey
Iceni
Marcomanni
Dacia
Egypt
Parthia
Armenia (also now playable in the ROME II Grand Campaign).
