MechWarrior 2

[Matthew Carpenter]

If you get some time, that would be great.  If TransGaming says it doesn't
work very well, I don't think I'd ask you to spend much time on it.

As for whether it's an acquired taste, I own it, I like it... but I let it
go a while back because I had too much to do to play in-depth games much. 
Although seeing MechIV has caused me to rethink that.  I think I need to
try Mech3 Mercs or just get MechIV (although I don't feel like sending
Microsoft any more money).  What I've seen of MechIV looks like it's
indeed better than Mech2.  I like the Mercenary idea.

Thanks,
Matt
