I remember getting this as a christmas present in my childhood. But to my dismay our family was going on a christmas cruise that year, and I didn't get to play this before we left. So I spent much of the cruise with the manuals browsing through mech weaponry and stats, while anxiously waiting for the cruise to be over. Luckly the wait was worth it, and I kept playing the ending's training scenarios long after the main story had finished.
Played this on a 8086 EGA PC clone back in the day. Loved the order based strategy system - desperately trying to capture rather then destroy mechs just to make the later levels easier. The modern game is good but doesn't recreate the magic.
