MechWarrior 3050

MechWarrior is a 1994 top-down shooter video game developed by Malibu. The first Battletech based game to be released for the Sega Genesis, it was originally titled simply Battletech, but was later ported to the Super NES by Activision as Mechwarrior 3050.

The story takes place during the events of the Clan Invasion in the 3050 era. Players are assigned the role of a Clan Wolf Mechwarrior, who is sent to eliminate several Inner Sphere assets which threaten to destroy the Clan's dominance on the battlefield, and given Timber Wolf/MadCat mech.

The game features a two-player mode where one player controls the bottom half of the mech to navigate it around the map while the second player controls the upper torso, which rotates independently.

I find it funny how the developers of the SNES port went out of their way to say that enemy mechs in the 4th mission are equipped with jump jets and will withdraw from a losing battle while in reality the mechs in this port simply fail to spawn most of the time and when they do spawn, they are often bugging out.
