- Yes there is. Battletech Center's in Chicago. What you do basically is sit in
- a cockpit and run around and kill people. Free for alls or team play. Teams
- usually consist of 4 people so you can have 2 lances going at it against each
- other. Lots of fun really. There are 4 or 5 different variants of 4 Clan
- mechs that you can choose from: Thor, Loki, Madcat, and Vulture. Graphics
- are excellent and there's even infra-red. Each game lasts 10 minutes and costs
- $6-$8 depending on when you go. After each battle, you can watch the whole
- thing from a top view on a monitor outside. So far there's only like 2 of
- these places in existence. The other one's in Japan I think.
