I wish mobile games were more like these instead of shit FarmVille clones. They’re all the same!

I recently purchased that game again for the memories but I can't seem to get the disk to run on windows 10. Looks Nice on my shelf though.
Gustave13
that's a shame, I'm sure someone knows how to run old software on W10, google it!

That game was the shit. I used to stick the shaft soundtrack on and bomb around Manhatten

No Warcraft though :(

I loved Warcraft

Diablo 2 is the only one I needed

No Command & Conquer or even Civ either, this is an AOE scrub I think.

Midtown madness 2 ! Played it alot !
Sporadicfrog
I loved sim tower! Would love to play that again but can't find it anywhere
darthchocolate
If you want a mobile game, try Tinytower
NotRightNeverWrong
It’s a fairly good mobile version. Not as good, but entertaining for sure. I enjoy the built in gambling!

Try out Project Highrise, it's inexpensive enough
johnnyw80
I'm not a fan of Project Highrise. Half the fun of Simtower was organising the lifts. PH is a lot more basic in that regard.
ForSomeAbstractReason
True.
a55mu11e7
don't forget about Streets of SimCity. so you can drive around your SimCity 2000 city.
NeverCast
Oh yeah. I just remembered another I used to play. Sim Safari!
UniversalTruth2020
Dude that was awesome!!
NeverCast
I remember that Streets of Sim City and Sim Copter both rendered without textures. But I still played them for hours.
TheBlueMuppet
Mine loaded fine but i had the pack.
NeverCast
There was that other sim game along with all these that was something to do with a rain forest? Never worked out how to play.
CascadianTwilight
Sim Isle. I kind of figured it out
NeverCast
There was almost no guide in that game. Controls were strange.
NeverCast
Anyone here play SimTower? I had the SimMania pack which contained most these mentioned Sim games. Also YES to Sims 1
Totallyscrewedinaustin
SimTower was fun! What about SimAnts?
thisismybraintalking
Yes simtower is awesome!! Chapel at the top!
NeverCast
That's the one! I only finished my tower a few times, But it was pretty great.
Impossibrew
Streets of sim city was my shit as a kid.
CaptainArsehole
Simcopter!
Lucky24NA
That game was fantastic!
MollyNapQueen
I seem to remember dropping buckets of water on crowds.

+1 for simcopter +2 more for sim earth

Haha, dropping the rescued Sims from the helicopter onto a Hospital roof. Then they stood up and gave you a bloodied thumbs up.

60fps GTA V gaming rig, still play 1nsane, no fucks given.

I still install dosbox to play Prince of Persia and Commander Keen for the nostalgia.

Just think about how big your rig was when you actually had these games 1st time around! Gateway 2000 tower and a bigass CRT.

I have San Andreas for Android.

Oh man I miss good mechwarrior style games

Mechwarior Mercenaries was the best.

There's some conversion mod for crysis wars, I don't remember what the name is but my friends have been playing it for awhile.
Lykasmitts
there's a new mechwarrior in the works "MW5: Mercenaries"
12rt2345g342563
Yeah...made by PGI.
WarthogFrank
Mech 2... that intro video was tight
WarthogFrank

ctennessen
Remember the awesome intro movie to either MW2 or MW3? Where the little mech was hiding inside the ruins of a building?
Anthf
Dude get War Robots
Kazahani
It's definitely on a much smaller scale than the old MW pc games but it is a fun one!
MrRemy
Do you play android or iOS? Signed, a fellow WR player

shampu19
The Titanfall series is decent
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
Sure, but that's an entirely separate question to whether it's anything like the old "mechwarrior style games", which it isn't.
ummanmanda1
Titanfall?
itislikeitis
It hurts my heart that this game is forgotten it's really good and the devs are cool too
UnknownSquid
Titanfall is a good game, but an entirely different thing to Mechwarrior. Both have big robots, but the similarities end there.
Tahroo
Keep your eyes out for BattleTech too while you wait for MW5. Will be Turn Based mech combat.
NothingClever69
Hawken is pretty amazing.
Punderstandable
Seriously, how did that gaming genre not continue?
GHOST101010101
I miss Armored Core, it's been awhile since I've played one of those.
TheBigBastard
Agreed, I loved the old games and now there's nothing.
d3jake
Check out MechWarrior: Living Legends. No single player, but Far more simulation-like than mwo
TheCharrDidAscalon
They still update MWO
tzap
They do but the game sucks, its developers blatantly lie to their players and later modify their own posts, and it went down with p2w.
d3jake
MWO is a MechWarrior game in title only. It's far more arcade-style than simulation.
Durendal5150
Going to add to the others that Mechwarrior: Living Legends is a thing still! https://www.reddit.com/r/MWLL/
flexyjerkov
P2W...
GentlemanScientist
As others have said, Mechwarrior Online is a thing, there's a new installment of Battletech coming out this year and MW5 is in the works.
BigBlueBurd
MWO is MechWarrior in name only.
GentlemanScientist
It's got the stompy robots, it's got the pews, it's got the booms. The main problem is that MW doesn't translate well into actual 1/2
GentlemanScientist
first-person mech piloting, which leads to all the balancing shenanigans they have to do. 2/2
BigBlueBurd
It doesn't feel like any of that though. Weapons feel like laser pens, peashooters and bottle rockets, never mind the 1/2
Bastorizzel
There is Titanfall
consty
see:![]()
which is basically a large exosuit
consty
the titans are literally just giant operators. when we say mech, we mean large usually bulky and slow heavy weapons platforms
d1d1t4t3hlulz0hl4wdy
I think it was because MW was Activision if I do believe? And we know what Activision does now.
davidtrest
MW2 (all 3 of them) were Activision. MW3 was Microprose. MW4 was Microsoft. MWO/MW5 are PGI.
aegis27
The F2P model got its claws into them. Hawken and MWO are 2 modern example ruined by grinding tedium.
spug3t
As someone said about MWO: It's an FPS, not an simulator.
TheBigBastard
Hawken was pretty cool. But that's literally as close as I got to MechWarrior.
FriscoeHotsauce
Creators of MWO are making a single player Mech Warrior 5 Mercenaries! Which is great, because other than ftp, MWOs combat was superb
SavageHoax
HARMONY FUCKING GOLD! FUCK THOSE GUYS!
ncbbh88
The armored core series continued into the ps3 era i think
shimshimmyyah
Such a dope series. The controls got a little convoluted by the 3rd installment but so fun.
mandrigan
Trademark. So many Mech games were about to be developed until they got sued. "You stole our mechs. Cancel your game please."
behind7proxies
Probably trademark issues
johnzaku
That's literally the issue with macross. From Software wanna make em in America. Pub says no. Pub just went under. ...hope?

51rebaS
Don't get your hopes up. Made by the same people that made MWO. Their previous games are even worse (Duke Nukem Forever, licensed shit).
UnknownSquid
Sadly it's still made by PGI though, who have consistently demonstrated themselves to be incompetent and untrustworthy in my eyes.
[deleted]

UnknownSquid
I'm too badly burned by MWO to share it, but upvoting for optimism.
GadenKerensky
An actual game, instead of an Online Money Maker. Single player, AI... I hope it's good, and I hope it has bots.
freezingpilot
It's like game developers have become lazy and don't want to program good AI anymore. I can play old MW2 and be outplayed by the ai.
Fitzman
I love how in the new ones on lower difficulties you pretty much can't die. It's like the game is teasing you keeping you just barely alive
GadenKerensky
I want a game where the enemy has survival instincts and military-grade tactics, but you have mechanics and plot/gameplay elements that >
ArcLightCRO
There is also an upcomming "Battletech" game which is turn based. It is called Battletech comes out next year
donorkort
That game looks really dull, though. Shame, because when it was announced, it was the most excited I've been for a game in a long time.
ArcLightCRO
It's like .18 version of alpha\beta. Give it some time. Also Mechcon is soon so everyone keeps a few aces up the sleave
LiquidPoo
That depends on the lawsuit though
ArcLightCRO
yeah, but isn't that based due to similarity to "robotech", not battletech since PGI has all "battletech" rights? don't see how HG can win
LiquidPoo
correct. HG has been trying this bullshit for a while though. Still costing money to the battletech folks.
NexiKuro
The battletech side of their lawsuit is weak, also they just ratified an arbitration that acknowledges that they don't own the designs. 1/2
NexiKuro
and here's the mech list (no pictures anymore :( ) http://web.archive.org/web/20020803190522/http://www.macross.co.jp/contents/index.html
NexiKuro
2/3 The only mech that I can't find on the list of designs not owned by harmony gold is the super valkyrie, but it might be the-
NexiKuro
3 armored valkyrie idk. here;s the lawsuit http://ia601606.us.archive.org/11/items/gov.uscourts.wawd.242820/gov.uscourts.wawd.242820.1.0.pdf
NexiKuro
5/4 final note: I have no idea what them technically not being in control of the copyright on those designs means for the suit. law is weird
