Hi ms-dos,

MechWarrior 2 doesn't support Windows XP and above so please try to run this game in "Windows 9x compatibility mode".

Bye bye

Hi,
The game uses a very old version of the Glide.
Never the game was officially patched to run on a V2 in Glide mode but
it runs on a V2 with the glide.dll and the sst1init.dll (from a Voodoo 1) into the Mech 2 directory and with a batch file.
So i'm not sure that it will run with a V5 in Glide mode.
