I think we need someone in here with better info to revise the article. The game was never called "MechWarrior 1" (how would they have known at the time that there would be a MechWarrior 2?), and was in fact titled, BattleTech 2: MechWarrior. It was the sequel to BattleTech, a top-down mission-based combat game (based on the tabletop miniatures game of the same name) that looked a lot like classic tank battle games except that the animation produced the effect of walking legged war machines. BattleTech 2: MechWarrior took it a step further and was a first-person POV combat game combining vector and raster graphics. Both games included the resource/economic management aspects of later games in the series. -- 12.22.250.4 18:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Developed by Activision or Dynamix?
I'm researching the games developed by Dynamix, and found that their page lists the game as developed by them, released in 1989 for DOS. Can anyone verify this? Alex 03:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Confirmed, per MobyGames. Alex 03:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MechWarrior.jpg
Image:MechWarrior.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
