Has ANYONE been able to get ANY of the Windows vers of the Mechwarrior 2 games to work in NT? I have the original DOS ver of Mech 2 that I picked up waaaayyy back in 1995 the day before I bought my new 486 DX4/100 with 12mb of Vram and a 1mb Trident video card! Woohoo! (Unfortunately the trident …

Was just looking at the main page of the forum and noticed that it can be "somewhat" confusing. Could we possibily add descriptions under: "The Guide" "Eddie" "Heart" to provide a better focus and to reduce inapproprite postings?
