[TheLordofError]

All systems nominal.

[ReclusiarchLP]

Oh, man. This brings me back! :)

[EPICLULZ123]

This is the ONLY game worth playing with a joystick and keyboard.

[Luriena]

Who was the idiot who disliked this song?

This was one of my favourite songs out of all of them. It has such beauty to it. <3

[GnomeDeathKnight]

I had such an attack of nostalgia...

[saiyansnake]

OMMFG the memories :O

[kadajshm]

Didnt play this very much as a kid (due to just not understanding wth I was doing) but I remember popping my CD into my CD player and listening to this all day 8D

[spoonmonkey14]

Computer: "Enemy Power Up detected."



[kallisto81]

The best saga game in the world!!

[screwmyass]

EPIC!!!

[Ashleytb]

Goddamn, 16 years since I heard this song and I still recall it perfectly. Amazing.

[SingularlyDatarific]

I always thought of it as a slow march, and lightly bobbed my head to it as if it was my mech doing it.

[RipYourSpineOut]

Who else would eject just to hear this song?

[Matrilwood]

0 people think battlemechs are impractical.

[TheInflicted]

I really loved this soundtrack. Jeehun Hwang brilliantly mixed native American percussion with futuristic synth sounds to convey the idea of a futuristic animal-worshiping warrior society. I have no idea whether or not he was familiar with the Battletech universe before he wrote this stuff but somehow he nailed it.

[TheDecepticondude]

I think I remember this....... this is the sound that plays when you eject, right?

[championkhan]

Yet another game I just couldn't get the music to work for. Between this game and Tie Fighter I can't even imagine how music would have enriched the experience.

[ThePingasMightier]

@championkhan I just played the appropriate track for the appropriate mission on repeat in Media Player until I got out of the mission.

[RegdarKhrast]

This is a great game. I remember playing the playstation vesion back then haha. I'll have to find it online so I can play the pc version. Hooray for DOSbox haha.

[te2rx]

Mechwarrior 2... back when they made real, inspired music for games. The Mech2 series was one of the highlights for sure. Its combination of world percussion, western orchestra and synth was a perfect musical description for the game's world and suspenseful gameplay.

The songs should've been longer, but they had to work with the space constraints of "redbook audio" in a CD-ROM game.

[Myfaceisonfirenow]

Cool.

Embrace cowardice?

[Florijin]

I loved this game!!! Nice to hear that soundtrack again!!

[DesertFerret7]

Just like the good old days. I played this game in my childhood and this game kicked ass back then when LCD monitors haven't been invented yet. This music is very inspiring along with the other ones they are well worth listening too. They are like easy listening music. The composers should be proud of themselves. All hail DosBoX!

[privatepinkbits]

@DesertFerret7 easy listen its bringing the rambo out in me !!

[JTRch]

Best Mech Game ever! Thank DOSbox which alows me to play this game also 2010. Only problem. Can't configure my Forcefeedback 2 Joystick exactly.

[Rockermacro]

@JTRch hey man i have bought a MW2 for DOS and a have a windows Vista, how can i roll it on? i really wanna play it again!

thanx

[ThePingasMightier]

@Rockermacro DOSBox

[RipYourSpineOut]

I used to eject in Mechwarrior 2 just to hear this song.

[lordstev]

Bravo!

MW2 rulez!

[irishbernier]

I haven't played this in years... Bloody nostalgic, this. I need to get my old Windows 95 comp running again...

[Trappe1983]

You can even play it on Vista 64-Bit via DOS Box (and some tweaks), just google for it...

[M3iscool]

@Trappe1983 Can you play it on windows 7?

[Trappe1983]

@M3iscool I haven't tried to play it on Windows 7 yet but I don't think that there would be a problem if you're running it via DOS box.

[M3iscool]

@Trappe1983 I ran it with the adaptive compatibility feature that windows 7 has. But there were a lot of problems with crashing and glitches. So I was asking to see if you had any suggestions. Have not tried the DOS box thing yet. Maybe give that a shot.

[mrhunam]

@Trappe1983 It can be done. Easiest way is with a disc image; but I think you need to use the DOS/WIN version, not Titanium.

[shadowmancer122]

@Trappe1983

Doesn't just the DOS version of the game run on DosBox or does the Win95 version also work?

[SirFair1]

@irishbernier This link will help you play it on your computer again. The only version i know it works on is XP. Idk about any other version :P. Add this in front of youtube.com.

watch?v=eCyNMEhTCtQ

[Bertson777]

Breathtaking. Seriously I mean it. I've played that game veeeery long time ago. Aahh... Childhood, memories... I feel like a goddamn oldtimer heh :)

[ogie76]

here comes a flood of memories...

[Milltio]

Gregory Alper and Jeehun Hwang composed such great music, I hope when MW5 comes out they'll have their music in it! They're just too damn awesome to waste

[ThePingasMightier]

@Milltio Seconded. Hoping for Hwang to return (though would it be such a good idea to bring him in for the INNER SPHERE game?)

[CHEEZOR2]

God I love this soundtrack! Thanks for putting it up!
