BattleTech Coming to Kickstarter This Fall
battletechgame.com announces the return of BattleTech (Amazon.com search*) to computers with an upcoming Kickstarter campaign that’s, as they describe it, “the first turn-based BattleTech game for PC in over two decades.”
I played the hell out of the Crescent Hawk’s Inception game back in the late eighties (see Wikipedia), and if this new game includes an iPad version then I may just have to be a part of the Kickstarter campaign.

This makes me excited! Any word on whether this will be a RPG or a tactical style game?
Went back and tried playing Crescent Hawk’s Inception on an emulator a few years ago and it just wasn’t the same. Still have great memories about playing it.
My one regret is that I never succeeded in overheating another mech to the point of killing the pilot so that I could steal his mech.
Did you ever play Mechcommander? It’s probably dated by now, but it scratched the itch for a while. Loved this game as well!
