There's a recent games called Crescent Hawk`s Revenge which is also by
BattleTech, who I believe also did MechWarrior.  I briefly looked at 
it before i sent it down to by brother-in-law for his birthday (I 
"accidentally" broke the shrink-wrap when I took the price tag off) 
and it looks quite similar to Mechwarrior but with
more to it (more graphics, more 'bots to choose from, etc.).  You might
want to check that out.  My husband has played both and prefers Crescent Hawk.
