I've done that on the PC version before, it's not hard - rent the urbanmech, shoot the tribunes, run. Thing is, if you do it, you get blocked from entering the spaceport ever again.

I'm guessing if it's possible it will involve trapping the AI behind something you can shoot past and picking them off from long range with the Chameleons Large Laser. Maybe it's possible some other way? Anyone know how?

Trapping the AI seems to be the answer - the enemy mechs seem to have difficulty navigating into this alley:

RESURRECTION! 2015 edition!

Guys I'm revisiting this game (and the others in the series)

I recently got myself an old IBM PS/2 like I had in high school back in the 90's, this is one of the original games that got me into computers:

Here's a shot of my battlestation running Crescent Hawk's Revenge:

I bought a physical copy of the Battletech: Powerhits compilation from EBAY!

Anyway I'm doing a super-replay of this game. I want to attempt all of the most difficult things to do in it.

I remembered how to get the Chameleon and made a video of it:

So I have TWO (maybe 3) other things I'd really like to do, and I have not ever seen either one of them actually done:

- Rent an Urbanmech at the arena and steal it. I have heard people say they have done this, but I'm pretty sure most of them were remembering playing on the C64 version (it's different)

- Defeat ALL FOUR Jenners during the kurita invasion. Some have claimed to have done it, but the details on how are pretty sparse. I'm guessing if it's possible it will involve trapping the AI behind something you can shoot past and picking them off from long range with the Chameleons Large Laser. Maybe it's possible some other way? Anyone know how?

- Salvage a Jenner? I had heard that it may be possible by (a) defeating at least one of the jenners in the Kurita invasion, and (b) returning to the area that they were defeated and (c) winning a skirmish in the area of the wreckage, and then being able to salvage them after.

Any other super rare or difficult things in the game you guys can think of?

jenner mech

if this is the game i remember ive got a good "cheat" for you. at start of game when the base gets attacked you can KEEP the Jenner Mech by running to the south west or south east, look for a break in the fence, walk thru it and you escaped ...with a mech you shouldnt have.

U're using a Kuritan's mech salvaged on one of your battle, try to destroy that mech on one of the battle then the mechit would talk to you again.

as for the 1st training problem try using locust and walk straight to the corner but still avoid the forest. bush or water as much as U can

Try:
a) setting keyboardlayout=PL in DOSBox config
b) pressing CTRL+F1 while in DOSBox and adding a new key binding for the virtual space bar (setting it to your keyboard's space bar or whatever else you like)

I also had the hardest time with the first training mission. I thought it counted your movements therefor I tried to avoid the forest but that was a waste of time just bolt to the bottom corner.

This game would have been near impossible in its time. I recommend using a walkthru, it will keep you entertained. Enjoyed the story. Unfortunately the combat scenes are crap but you can automate them so all good.

Not bad 3.5/5
