You might >want to check that out. My husband has played both and prefers Crescent Hawk. a) This is NOT a new game even though the stores sell it at new game price. b) This is not at all like MechWarrior. This is like Crescent Hawks Inception which is side/top view of the terrain and mechs. More of a RPG than a mech simulator. I heard a rumor (either here or Genie) that Ultrabots IBM version was being held back so that its release would be the same as the SNES version. Hope this is not true...... Mark
