As for jump-jetting, you have to fire the jets in short bursts to control your fall. It takes some practice to get the hang of it.
Don't forget that as long as your mech has both legs, you can stand up after falling prone by pressing U.

I'll try, thx for the tips

It works with uart thx. Another ques. how to target different parts of the mechs, by enter I can select the targets but to direct specific parts ?

-ok found them

[The Fifth Horseman]

You need to target them manuually. That's how it works.

it's hard in combats till you get used to it but by N and M can direct my aim up/down.

Had couple mech leg destroyed but still couldn't make a neat headshot :embarassed:

Oh man..I remember playing this game ad naseum as a kid. Kind of brings a tear to my eye to see it again.....and I played it on a computer so slow it took twenty minutes to complete a fight. It was about fifteen seconds between each battlemech step lol. Thanks to whoever put it on this site

Ok,

I have downloaded the game and downloaded DOSBox, but have absolutly no idea what do to next.

I loved this one in my younger days...one of the best game purchases my parents ever made. But does anyone remember the Mechwarrior version on the GEnie network? It was multiplayer and open ended. As you gained experience, you gained rank and the ability to pick planets to invade. You could only play cooperatively, but success/failure in a battle affected the big picture.

I loved this game when I was a kid and have wanted to play it again for years! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to get it going even after downloading. Is there a straight forward step-by-step on how to get the game going on a PC running Windows XP?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
