Back of Box - Macintosh:
The year is 3037. A Struggle for power fuels a society of warring clans. Bitter infighting perpetuates a universe of unrest. War is constant. Victory is temporary. Cease-Fire us nonexistent. A pause in a stream of salvos is only a signal to re-calibrate crosshairs and redirect missiles. The time is scarce before the next unrelenting mission begins. For a MechWarrior, war is life. And death is the only true peace.
*Explosive Gameplay: A 3-D virtual cockpit quakes with every thundering blast in dozens of intense missions. Leap into Instant Action or advance through a complete MechWarrior career!
*Stunning Graphics and Audio: A video intro by Digital Domain, a high-res animated shell, texture-mapped 3-D objects, and S/FX by SOUNDELUX draw you into real-time battle!
*31st Century War Machines: Customize one of 15 BattleMechs with over 20 unique weapons systems and brave ultra-realistic 'Mech vs. 'Mech combat on a variety of interplanetary landscapes.
*Training missions: Learn firsthand how to operate these mega-ton killing machines. Take part in sorties created to sharpen your combat skills. Soon you will be a battle-ready MechWarrior!
