One of the first sandbox type games, you were mostly free to roam the galaxy and do what you wished. Althougt there is a time limit on the game, very Oblivion-like in that you don't even really have to do the story missions if you like. For the time, the depth and graphics were decent.

No, no, no. You don't -understand-. This game introduced me to the Battletech universe. This game owned my life constantly to the utter dismay of my parents. I was absorbed by the combat and the lore and the universe and breathed it. I memorised the access codes. I knew every detail intimately. I breathlessly followed every gaming magazine's updates until Mechwarrior 2 was released and then I played -it- to death too. This game is why I'm obsessed with giant walking war machines. This game is why I became a robotics researcher - I build these now.

Few people cared, but actually this game has a storyline! If you bother to read "emails" that you recieve (in-game), they are from different characters that ask you to fly here (with your mech) and do this-and-that, and in the process your affinity to different factions changes, and you uncover bits and pieces of the story. Too bad that when I first played this game many years ago, all I cared for were giant robot battles and I didn't really care about the storyline...

Snatcher
SnatcherSnatcher is a cyberpunk-themed graphic adventure game directed and written by Hideo Kojima and produced by Konami. The setting and story of Snatcher is heavily influenced by cyberpunk and science-fiction media, taking place in a large futuristic dystopian city. The story revolves around an investigator named Gillian Seed assigned to investigate a breed of bioroids known as "snatchers", who are killing humans and taking their place in society. The game is set in a primarily first person perspective and uses a menu-based interface that allows the protagonist to interact with his environment. The player can choose to "Look", "Investigate", "Talk", "Ask" and "Move" (in addition to other options) to acquire key items or receive vital information from other characters. The player can analyze items in Gillian's belongings or show it to other characters. During key points of the game's story, the player must pass shooting sequences to defend Gillian from assailants. These shooting segments use a 3x3 grid which the player can target to fire at enemies. A shooting trainer, called "Junker's Eyes", is accessible at Junker HQ that allows the player to measure their accuracy.
