Mechwarrior 3050 (USA) ROM

Mechwarrior 3050 is an isometric top down action game.
You are the pilot of a Mad-Cat mech completing missions issued to you by your commanding officer.

Before you start a mission, you are given a choice on what weapons you want to take with you, there are 3 different categories each with 3 choices for a total of 27 different weapon combinations, not too bad for a game made in 1995.

Once you're done choosing your weapons, you are dropped in a large open area where you must complete the various objectives you received during briefing.
Thanks to the large areas and objective based progression, levels have a very open feel to them and give a lot of room to maneuver around.

One word of warning, this game has no saves and can be rather punishing, once you run out of lives that's it, it's back to the beginning for you unless you write down the password you get at the end of a level. (Or you can just make a savestate I guess and skip all that jazz. But where is the fun in that? :P)
