Crescent Hawks: Inception

This is the first Battletech game on the PC. Released by Infocom/Westwood in 1988.

The story is about a young MechWarrior pilot by the name of Jason Youngblood. He starts out with a famous name in the Commonwealth because of the fame of his father. This gets him into a good MechWarrior training school and somehow audiences with the Archon, but unfortunately with the attack on the planet his father goes missing.

After the attack Jason's goal in life from there on is to reunite the Crescent Hawks and find clues about where his father might have been taken.

The game is extremely random, but for a game from 1988 it is not bad. The story line though is very linear. In many respects this games plot is extremely difficult to follow.

All of these videos will have some commentary to fix the monotony of the game. However, I know I am far from the best commentator, so bare with me please.

How does someone find the total history of Battletech?

@reapermjd Not quite sure about where you could find something like that. I doubt a complete history exists yet. However, I remember that there was an official history timeline available in the past on fasa com ... tinyurl com/BTTimeline
