I recently purchased that game again for the memories but I can't seem to get the disk to run on windows 10. Looks Nice on my shelf though.

I loved sim tower! Would love to play that again but can't find it anywhere

If you want a mobile game, try Tinytower
NotRightNeverWrong
It’s a fairly good mobile version. Not as good, but entertaining for sure. I enjoy the built in gambling!
ForSomeAbstractReason
Try out Project Highrise, it's inexpensive enough
johnnyw80
I'm not a fan of Project Highrise. Half the fun of Simtower was organising the lifts. PH is a lot more basic in that regard.

all that probably fits on a single disc, as well.

Even more crazy to me: All of that can fit on a memory stick 1/4 size of a postage stamp and runs on your *phone*.

Just think about how big your rig was when you actually had these games 1st time around! Gateway 2000 tower and a bigass CRT.

Streets of sim city was my shit as a kid.

I remember that Streets of Sim City and Sim Copter both rendered without textures. But I still played them for hours.

Mine loaded fine but i had the pack.

There was that other sim game along with all these that was something to do with a rain forest? Never worked out how to play.

Sim Isle. I kind of figured it out

There was almost no guide in that game. Controls were strange.

Anyone here play SimTower? I had the SimMania pack which contained most these mentioned Sim games. Also YES to Sims 1

Mechwarior Mercenaries was the best.

Hawken is on ps4 it's free. Fun mech game

All i want is a Mech FSP w/BF1 style gameplay. So rush, conquest, and Operations mode ooooooooooOoo yah

There's some conversion mod for crysis wars, I don't remember what the name is but my friends have been playing it for awhile.
ctennessen
Remember the awesome intro movie to either MW2 or MW3? Where the little mech was hiding inside the ruins of a building?
NothingClever69
Hawken is pretty amazing.
shampu19
The Titanfall series is decent
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
Sure, but that's an entirely separate question to whether it's anything like the old "mechwarrior style games", which it isn't.
ctennessen
Whenever I see someone online talk about "MW2" I get excited only to find they are talking about a COD game

I played MWLL but I prefer MWO. Graphics are better and I don't like playing anything other than mechs, so mixed unit warfare doesn't appeal

gaynorvader
Mechwarrior had nothing on earthsiege rip sierra
Lykasmitts
there's a new mechwarrior in the works "MW5: Mercenaries"
12rt2345g342563
Yeah...made by PGI.
malakim
They are making a turnbased mech-warrior game called BattleTech. Its apparently closer to the table-top than the other games. Comes out 2017
freezingpilot
I'm a full backer for that. The swag they gave out from the kickstarter is fucking amazing.
Chaxinitus
Basically Xcom but with big ol mechs. I'm down to clown with that shit.
blueplinx
There is a mechwarrior online on steam and its free. Idk if its like the old ones as i havent played them
UnknownSquid
He said "good" Mech Warrior games. MWO is sadly the furthest thing from.
Wyzm45ter
That's why he said "good" mesh warrior style games.
freezingpilot
He said he missed GOOD mechwarrior style games. Good is not a word I use to describe MWO. (The new battletech game however... looks great!)
Koravel34
Hawken is better than MWO. Neither hold a candle to the old MW games.
itislikeitis
Hawken, it's ok
UnknownSquid
It's ok, but felt too much like a "Call of Duty but with Mechs" to me. Very different to classic Mechwarrior really.
freezingpilot
You know, I was going to downvote you, but yeah, you are right, it is ok. Not great, but for what it is, it is ok.
itislikeitis
It's free and you fight big robots. It's ok.

Titanfall 2 was trying to bring you back but yall betrayed it. Great game. Not an FPS fan but damn they did good.
HaraDaya
Come on now. TF2 is nothing like MechWarrior. But it is a great game that I still play weekly.
ummanmanda1
Titanfall?
itislikeitis
It hurts my heart that this game is forgotten it's really good and the devs are cool too
UnknownSquid
Titanfall is a good game, but an entirely different thing to Mechwarrior. Both have big robots, but the similarities end there.
Tahroo
Keep your eyes out for BattleTech too while you wait for MW5. Will be Turn Based mech combat.

12rt2345g342563
I don't trust PGI.
UnknownSquid
Made by PGI though. They've got my founders money from MWO, and are never getting another penny.
keraos
And it'll have native VR support.
Anthf
Dude get War Robots

It's definitely on a much smaller scale than the old MW pc games but it is a fun one!

freezingpilot
I read excited, then got pissed off. No mech customization. Fuck that noise. If I want to make variants, it should be possible.
Awaras
Well, it's the third succession war era, before the clans invaded. Much technology is lost, newly manufactured mechs are rare, 1/2
Awaras
and the primary way of getting new mechs is digging for old caches. They did say you will be able to find different variants in the field.
freezingpilot
Just sounds like lazy devs to me.
Punderstandable
Seriously, how did that gaming genre not continue?

I miss Armored Core, it's been awhile since I've played one of those.

Going to add to the others that Mechwarrior: Living Legends is a thing still! https://www.reddit.com/r/MWLL/
behind7proxies
Probably trademark issues
johnzaku
That's literally the issue with macross. From Software wanna make em in America. Pub says no. Pub just went under. ...hope?
TheBigBastard
Agreed, I loved the old games and now there's nothing.
SavageHoax
HARMONY FUCKING GOLD! FUCK THOSE GUYS!
mandrigan
Trademark. So many Mech games were about to be developed until they got sued. "You stole our mechs. Cancel your game please."
d3jake
Check out MechWarrior: Living Legends. No single player, but Far more simulation-like than mwo
ncbbh88
The armored core series continued into the ps3 era i think
shimshimmyyah
Such a dope series. The controls got a little convoluted by the 3rd installment but so fun.
TheCharrDidAscalon
They still update MWO
tzap
They do but the game sucks, its developers blatantly lie to their players and later modify their own posts, and it went down with p2w.
d3jake
MWO is a MechWarrior game in title only. It's far more arcade-style than simulation.
Bastorizzel
There is Titanfall
consty
see:![]()
which is basically a large exosuit

the titans are literally just giant operators. when we say mech, we mean large usually bulky and slow heavy weapons platforms

51rebaS
Don't get your hopes up. Made by the same people that made MWO. Their previous games are even worse (Duke Nukem Forever, licensed shit).
UnknownSquid
Sadly it's still made by PGI though, who have consistently demonstrated themselves to be incompetent and untrustworthy in my eyes.
[deleted]

UnknownSquid
I'm too badly burned by MWO to share it, but upvoting for optimism.
GadenKerensky
An actual game, instead of an Online Money Maker. Single player, AI... I hope it's good, and I hope it has bots.
freezingpilot
It's like game developers have become lazy and don't want to program good AI anymore. I can play old MW2 and be outplayed by the ai.
Fitzman
I love how in the new ones on lower difficulties you pretty much can't die. It's like the game is teasing you keeping you just barely alive
GadenKerensky
I want a game where the enemy has survival instincts and military-grade tactics, but you have mechanics and plot/gameplay elements that >
d1d1t4t3hlulz0hl4wdy
I think it was because MW was Activision if I do believe? And we know what Activision does now.
davidtrest
MW2 (all 3 of them) were Activision. MW3 was Microprose. MW4 was Microsoft. MWO/MW5 are PGI.
aegis27
The F2P model got its claws into them. Hawken and MWO are 2 modern example ruined by grinding tedium.
spug3t
As someone said about MWO: It's an FPS, not an simulator.
FriscoeHotsauce
Creators of MWO are making a single player Mech Warrior 5 Mercenaries! Which is great, because other than ftp, MWOs combat was superb
TheBigBastard
Hawken was pretty cool. But that's literally as close as I got to MechWarrior.
GentlemanScientist
As others have said, Mechwarrior Online is a thing, there's a new installment of Battletech coming out this year and MW5 is in the works.
BigBlueBurd
MWO is MechWarrior in name only.
GentlemanScientist
It's got the stompy robots, it's got the pews, it's got the booms. The main problem is that MW doesn't translate well into actual 1/2
GentlemanScientist
first-person mech piloting, which leads to all the balancing shenanigans they have to do. 2/2
BigBlueBurd
It doesn't feel like any of that though. Weapons feel like laser pens, peashooters and bottle rockets, never mind the 1/2
ArcLightCRO
There is also an upcomming "Battletech" game which is turn based. It is called Battletech comes out next year
donorkort
That game looks really dull, though. Shame, because when it was announced, it was the most excited I've been for a game in a long time.
ArcLightCRO
It's like .18 version of alpha\beta. Give it some time. Also Mechcon is soon so everyone keeps a few aces up the sleave
LiquidPoo
That depends on the lawsuit though
ArcLightCRO
yeah, but isn't that based due to similarity to "robotech", not battletech since PGI has all "battletech" rights? don't see how HG can win
LiquidPoo
correct. HG has been trying this bullshit for a while though. Still costing money to the battletech folks.
NexiKuro
The battletech side of their lawsuit is weak, also they just ratified an arbitration that acknowledges that they don't own the designs. 1/2
NexiKuro
2/3 The only mech that I can't find on the list of designs not owned by harmony gold is the super valkyrie, but it might be the-
NexiKuro
and here's the mech list (no pictures anymore :( ) http://web.archive.org/web/20020803190522/http://www.macross.co.jp/contents/index.html
NexiKuro
5/4 final note: I have no idea what them technically not being in control of the copyright on those designs means for the suit. law is weird
NexiKuro
3 armored valkyrie idk. here;s the lawsuit http://ia601606.us.archive.org/11/items/gov.uscourts.wawd.242820/gov.uscourts.wawd.242820.1.0.pdf
