Title: TRO Legends Website - Anyone Remember This?
Post by: BATTLEMASTER on 07 December 2019, 20:26:40
While recreating the Tarantula from MechWarrior 2, I stumbled across this website which I had forgotten over the years.  It catalogs fluff and barely canon 'mech configurations.  It's interesting how some of these 'mechs, especially the ones from the computer games, now have canonized configurations.

Here it is as an archived website:

I don't remember that, but the general layout...

ah, geocities, once upon a time the very backbone of internet fandom.

The website was last updated in February of 2000, so we've come quite aways over the last 20 years!

When I opened the page it looked really familiar.

Holy Cow! So cool! I loved this site and most most of my page saves in the last crash! Thanks! This was the inspiration for my "Never-Seen" thread!

I'd be interested in seeing your Tarantula as well!

I remember the site. The extra notes on each design really helped put them in contex. It and... Longwalker's Archive(?) ...were my first real contact with the BattleTech Extended Universe.
