Where to get Mechwarrior Battlepack Edition ?
« on: 02 June 2015, 22:41:16 »
I finally found out the name of this version, have seen screenies of it, and my jaw hit the ground, being a Refusal War veteran ;D

Does anyone know where I can find Mechwarrior Battlepack (edit) Version, not to be confused with the "Battlepack edition" on amazon for example ?

Ebay does not have any

Anyone know any other little places, within and outside the mech community ?

Thanks

Never knew it existed until this topic, only have the standard MS DOS versions of MW2, GBL and Mercs.

I have the Win 95 version, Ibm, Pentium and ATI version (even the Titanium) <shudders> ;D

I was reading some where earlier today that it is using the upgraded 8 bit engine of normal Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries, for years I have been seeing screen shots from all over the community, thinking, ok its not Titanium, but it still looks better than the normal versions. Today I saw a picture, and then learnt it is called:

"Battlepack Version

Which was the 3DFX release?

Also, this may best answer your question http://www.mech2.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=128

No idea, but it looks like it is an option for the titanium edition. Or perhaps you just install from DOS rather than windows. Either way why would you WANT to install the 8bit version

all I know is, from what I have seen of screenshots is that the Battlepack Version looks better than original MW2 Pentium for example. And it is not Titanium on 8 bit thinking about it, as the mech display in the lower right corner in these screenshots, is "normal" individual mech looking diagrams, not the silly universal titanium one.
