Battletech © 1996 Virtual World Entertainment.
Every moment counts as you control a thirty-foot tall, 75 ton walking tank, blasting your way to victory. You're the pilot of a BattleMech competing against seven other players in the 31st century. Each 'Mech is equipped with tons of ammo, cannons, lasers and missiles. When seated in the TeslaTM System cockpit for your BattleTech game, you will be amazed. The main screen is a window, your view from your giant 'Mech. Five surrounding monitors display your 'Mech's systems. A secondary radar screen helps you hunt down your opponents. The throttle, foot pedals and military-style joystick help you pilot this massive fighting machine. The depth of the BattleTech game is unparalleled in location based entertainment. As your skills progress in the game, you discover more advanced systems and controls. You are responsible for the 'Mech's wear and tear. You control the coolant levels, ammunition and generators.
