Megatron VGA

Description

You are in the cockpit of a giant titan robot-machine like the one from Tiberian Sun, only a much older model. You have a couple of weapons, and you must catch your opponent before he surprises you instead. It's not easy task at all. The movement is a lot alike the one from old RPG games like Eye of the Beholder but this game is not so much fun..

Trivia

MegaTron has a bizarre history and a look immediately familiar to BattleTech and MechWarrior fans. In 1991, Stanely released this game, and it wasn't a bad effort. Half-decent graphics, good sound, a useful AI, and workable gameplay ("crash-proof", some even called it) added much to an already good concept: modem-to-modem Giant Robot combat, long before the days of NetMech. Unfortunately, Stanely was disappointingly unoriginal, and stole BattleTech concepts and images from FASA while trying to make money off this blatant copyright infringement. He even called the two robots MadCat and Vulture (MechWarrior 2 fans will recognize them as Timberwolf and Mad Dog), referred to them as BattleMechs and Omnis, and set the game in 3015. It's unclear whether there was a genuine lawsuit by FASA or the threat of one (I've asked, but nobody at FASA today remembers what happened back in 1991), but in 1993 Stanely released a new version with a few improvements. The two units are called Bear and Snake, and are now Assault Robots, not BattleMechs.
