Briefing and pre-mission nonsense. Meet your commanding officer, Commander, uh, whatshername, as she tells you that everything got hosed and it's up to you to fix everything and make the galaxy safe for authoritarian pseudo-monarchies. Saddle up to your command console, it's time for MechCommander! MechCommander was a significant, if oft-forgotten piece of Battletech PC lore, as it was the first time on Windows PC that you got to step out of the cockpit and take command of entire lances of Battlemechs in a semi-3D isometric environment. The game played fast and loose with the Battletech rules in order to maintain some semblance of balance, and weapons and mechs were changed to fit this. It came out just before the critically-acclaimed Mechwarrior 3, making the two an interesting contrast between each other.
