MechWarrior is the first in a line of BattleTech video games of the same name. MechWarrior was the first video game to offer the player a chance to actually pilot a BattleMech from the view of a pilot (a MechWarrior). With this game the player has a great deal of freedom versus many the follow-up MechWarrior games, which include choosing missions, buying 'Mechs and parts, hiring lance-mates, and traveling throughout the Inner Sphere. Underneath all of that the game had a story line that would unfold over a five year (game time) period that dealt directly with your character.
