BattleTech in Popular Science
If you look inside the September, 1989 issue of Popular Science then you’ll find a fun full-page dedicated to the classic BattleTech game (Amazon.com search*). Focused on the BattleTech centers that FASA was creating for in-store play, I can say that these “pods” are a hell of a lot of fun to play. Networked and over-sized systems, what you do is sit inside one of the pods and then battle other players. I first played in one of these way back in 1996, and even today (when I see the pods at a convention) they’re fun to play.
