I personally hate "big fighting robot-suit" games, animations, comics, and movies. And that's one reason why I like Battle Tech games. They aren't like big fighting robots. They aren't humanoid at all. Gundam, for example, look like a bunch of huge metallic humans. I find the idea of a big robot "punching" or "kicking" idiotic. In Battle tech, they don't have functional hands. They have machine guns, rocket launchers, and lazers attached to immobile arms. They have legs that move quickly and stiffly.
I also really like how gritty, dirty, and dark the battle tech universe is.
Here are the two games I mentioned.
MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (no screenshots, but they have pics of the packaging)
MechCommander - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (the Mech RTS I mentioned)
For screenshots:
MechWarrior 2:
GameWeb - MechWarrior 2 Screenshots (the game is from 1995 and these graphics were amazing when the game first came out)
MechCommander:
MechCommander Screens for PC at GameSpot (this game came out in 1998, 3 years after MechWarrior 2)
I never played MechWarrior 3, but I really wanted to.
