MechWarrior
MechWarrior is the first video game in the BattleTech game series. MechWarrior was the first video game that allowed the player to control a BattleMech from the perspective of a pilot (a MechWarrior). Compared to many MechWarrior sequel games, the player has a lot of freedom in this game: He can choose missions, buy and sell mechs and parts, hire lance mates, and travel through the Inner Sphere. Underneath the big game mechanics, the player had the option to follow a role-playing game-like story that unfolds over a period of five years (game time).
Story
The story is about a mech warrior named Gideon Braver Vandenburg. His family was murdered and the chalice that proves he is the heir to the throne of his planet Ander's Moon was stolen. Without the chalice, he is sent into exile. Gideon must assemble a force of mech warriors and battlemechs, find his family's murderers, and take revenge within five years or all will be lost. The story ends with the victory over the Dark Wing Mercenaries.
