MegaMek is a networked Java clone of BattleTech, a turn-based sci-fi boardgame for 2+ players. Fight using giant robots, tanks, and/or infantry on a hex-based map.
This is a great game that makes a perfect time killer. I play it all the time during slow periods at work.
Like to play when on duty in Iraq and cannot get down to the FLGS for a game.
Extremely intimidating game in terms of complexity, but once the initial play is learned, a really fun game. If you can get a girl to play this with you, keep her!
Fantastic Game :)
could not get it to work
Cool game that helped me learn to play Battletech in between games at the FLGS.
Excellent... Now If I could just figure out how to connect to another player, I could stomp the snot out of my friends!
Cool game to play on the bus to and fro school. Wish it were 3D (mechs and terrain) but it is still cool.
If your friends live too far away, this is great for classic BTech and a few apps allow for custom mech building.
I have been following this project for years. I would suggest anyone who likes tabletop Battletech try this game. It is easy to set up and great for lots of players.
If you like Battletech this is a great way to play some single player games or test out a mech. My favorite time waster.
Great, high speed way to play one of the most versatile games ever.
This is just awesome! It's better to figure out the rules by playing this rather than figuring it out physically.
Played Battletech back in the olden days and megamek recreates some of the fun had on the tabletop miniatures version. Good for playing with old gaming friends that have since moved away. The game is a little resource heavy but any modern computer should be fine.
It's a great system that faithfully translates the Classic Battletech system into a game format. A+++
Sweet!!! A+++ Awesome nifty game that replicates the play of Battletech. I used to Battltech with my buddies back in high school and some in college and this game allows me to play with a few of them even while on the other side of the planet.
A nifty little java port of the original tabletop version. Kind of primitive compared to modern games but is still fun to play.
fine piece of code, love it - and the best its free
Great for getting a game together when everyone cannot meet and for those extra large battles you never had the time for.
Megamek is an awesome game. It plays almost exactly like regular Battletech and is a fantastic way for old gaming buddies to play even when apart.
Fun game for killing time.
Megamek is a cool, yet somewhat old/primitive looking game. 3D models would be nice but it does not hurt the game in anyway how it currently is now. The game is somewhat of a resource hog with bots, but I mostly play with other humans so it's no big deal for me.
I love Battletech and this is a great pc version of it. It plays according to the rules and is a blast.
I have had hundreds of hours playing tech tabletop. How nice it is to see someone make a project to revive the feel. a battle that would take hours to resolve in 40 minutes or less because the computer does most of the work. PLayers out there can contact me at coachblewis atsymbol gmail.com
