Mech it so

I recently had another go at Mechwarrior 2 - only to be reminded of why I haven't played it in a long while: The graphics look bloody horrible!

True I've said in the past that it's the gameplay that makes the game, not the visuals or the sounds but at the same time I've also said that the more a game tries to look as what the time deemed as 'cutting edge' the more swiftly it will date. And that certainly is the case here.

I wonder who has the rights to the Mechwarrior series. Perhaps it is time to dust it off and give it the HD remaster that it so richly deserves? I mean if the likes of Shaq Fu and Night Trap can get a crowd-funded remaster then there's no excuse why classic games should be outdone by turkeys...
