- I beta-tested a shareware battletech-like game called "Megatron." I
- posted this game on two sites, wuarchive and ab20. I think it was
- eventually deleted off wuarchive, and I've heard ab20 is dead. I will
- repost to wuarchive if someone can promise they will transfer this game
- to a more permanent site. Also, I will not mail it out to those who do
- not have ftp access (I got too many requests last time).
- Megatron is set in a 3D maze. You face out the cockpit in first
- person point of view. You have two weapons, missles and lasers, and you
- have to "hunt" the other person down, using your radar (which you switch
- on and off, it gives you away), or sound (if you register, you can hear
- the other mech getting closer). The main thing about this game is that
- you can play over the modem with a friend. IMHO, this is the best way to
- play it. The computer opponent is quite simple.
