Can’t remember if I purchased it or asked for it, but it is the first game that was just for me on the PC and would have been in my early teens. Wanted it as a computer version of the tabletop Battletech game that I was introduced to by a friend’s older brother.

The play speed was tied to the CPU speed, so when we upgraded the family computer a couple years later all the movement happened at ludicrous speeds! Good thing it was turn based.
BATTLETECH 2019 was like a modern version which was pretty awesome and hit all the nostalgia buttons!

Learned way later in life that’s what turbo mode was far. Slowing games down. Wish I knew back then haha
