Mech Warrior is the only true Mech sim. Mech Assault is just an action game geared toward casual players.

Clan mechs have differant name designations in the Inner Sphere and within the clans.

That said, I prefer the game back in the 3250 and 3251 vehicle sourcebooks. None of this clan tech crap. Straight up big guns and nothing but. The Ferret recon helo was a lot of fun in the table top game. It go so many bonuses for how fast it moved that I never once had one shot down. Sure, it only had a machine gun, but it was fun to pester small mechs in their rear armor locations. The Savanna Master 1/2ton tank was also very cool for this. Med laser shots to the back of anything under 30 tons qwn.

Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I want to go to bed,
I had a drink about an hour ago
and its gone straight to my head

I love Mechwarrior games, but I never seem to have money to buy them when they come out. I also liked the Earthsiege games, that was some sweet Mech action too.

What about the ugly offspring of the Mechwarrior series (after Activision lost the contract) the Heavy Gear series. I personally kindof liked them, though the gears in the game operated more like souped up Mechs from battletech than they should have. They're were supposed to be much more agile if you followed the tabletop game. I suppose if you put a Heavy Gear in the context of PS, they were like a double sized MAX armor.
