I remember this game and it was great! control a small team of mechs in quite big open missions and carry forward the skills and equipment that you've salvage from the enemies choose different types of mech per mission but with a weight limit so you have to think about what the makeup of the team/mechs will be. A true classic underdog in the RTS genre
I played MechCommander Gold pre 2005, more than 20 years ago. This game is the one that introduced the entire Battletech franchise to me, and I remember I played single campaign of MCG night and day. And I return to this game recently, and totally zoned into this game. There are robust single campaign and multiplay community for this game at today, 2025 Apr 21. People can play this game using Windows 10 and 11, but because of compatibility issue, it is difficult to use MCG editor to create new missions and campaigns. Please bring back this game to Windows 10/11 with proper MCG Editor support, there are people who wants to not only play but also create new missions and campaigns for this game.

This series is really one of a kind! Miss the Mad Cats. Vote them back. So far none of the newer games can provide the similar tactical feeling of this OG. Miss it so much
This game seems like an absolute no brainer for the GOG collection! The combat is very satisfying and gritty, the battles are tense, with parts flying everywhere and trying to keep your damn mech in one piece. The new ones are so slick and fast paced, this one here was pure grit and heart - love it!
Those games also need your vote!

L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition
L.A. Noire: The Complete EditionL.A. Noire is set in Los Angeles in 1947 and challenges the player, controlling a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer, to solve a range of cases across five divisions. Players must investigate crime scenes for clues, follow up leads, and interrogate suspects, and the player's success at these activities will impact how much of each case's story is revealed. The game draws heavily from both the plot and aesthetic elements of film noir, stylistic films made popular in the 1940s and 1950s that share similar visual styles and themes, including crime and moral ambiguity. The game uses a distinctive colour palette, but in homage to film noir it includes the option to play the game in black and white. Various plot elements reference the major themes of detective and mobster stories such as Key Largo, Chinatown, The Untouchables, The Black Dahlia, and L.A. Confidential. L.A. Noire is notable for using Depth Analysis's newly developed technology MotionScan, whereby the actors portraying the game's characters were recorded by 32 surrounding cameras to capture facial expressions from every angle. The technology is central to the game's interrogation mechanic, as players must use the suspects' reactions to questioning to judge whether or not they are lying. L.A. Noire was the first video game to be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival. Upon release, the game received wide acclaim for its advances in storytelling and facial animation technology. As of February 2012, both PC and console versions had shipped nearly 5 million copies combined. In addition to the original full game, L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition for PC will include a multi-use code to access all the previously released downloadable content from the console versions, including the “Nicholson Electroplating” Arson case, the “Reefer Madness” Vice case, “The Consul’s Car” Traffic case, “The Naked City” Vice case and “A Slip of the Tongue” Traffic case.
