The second game, MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat (1995), was set during the Refusal War in 3057 between Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon. A version of it also exists on the SNES, just Mode 7 and sprite based. This game, published in 1989, is notable for featuring full three-dimensional gameplay (predating games like Ultima Underworld), as well as crude squad AI (which would be refined in later games in the series). The first game, MechWarrior, set roughly around 3025, placed you in the shoes of Gideon Braver Vandenburg, who is out to reclaim his birthright after his family was murdered. Battlemechs are handled like real weapons of wars, pilots die pointlessly, combat is brutal - entire torso sections and arms are blasted out to disable weapons, legs get shot out from underneath mechs, mechs explode from the inside from overheating their fusion reactor, and inside that armored cockpit you are just an unarmored and very squishy human.
With cutting edge graphics and fairly intense combat, these games probably brought more people into the universe than anything else. It did everything the 6 does, but better mostly thanks to its Double Heat Sinks, which are basically nonexistent these days.One of the most popular spinoffs of the BattleTech franchise, the MechWarrior series puts the player in the cockpit of the Giant Mecha that define the universe. The Black Knight 6B was the harder-hitting, cooler-running Star League ancestor to the standard BL-6-KNT we have today.
It's not the most heavily armored brawler, but it tends to give at least as good as it gets, especially with any Energy-based weapons. The 6R Warhammer is a legendary 'Mech that's often found in the thick of combat, hurling PPC bolts at its foes.
