Ah yes. The game that got me addicted to computer games. Even though it ran like crap on my poor 486, I still have fond memories of loading up a Timber Wolf with lasers and heat sinks and just going to town on those dirty Jade Falcons. It was the first (and last) MechWarrior game (Mercenaries and Ghost Bear not included, since they are more of expansions than sequels) to be truly faithful to the tabletop Battletech weapons loadout rules.
Although, I am thankful they changed the PPC in MW3. The shots were too slow to be of any real use, and I'd laugh whenever the enemy fielded a Marauder MkII (unless it was heavy street fighting with no room to run, then I'd break out into a sweat).
Good times.

I used to experiment with some ridiclous configs loaded with the large lasers and enough heatsinks to stop it blowing up on the spot! There was one particular set up that would unleash a devastating alpha strike that could take out anything with a single blast but would shut down the mech in the process! Happy days of big ball ppcs and mechs that could stand on one leg when the other had been shot off.
