Getting some Rainy-Saturday-Reading™ done and listening to MechWarrior 2 soundtrack #battletech
I still consider MechWarrior 2 to
be the best and most truthful electronic gaming adaptation of (a small
aspect of) FASA’s excellent (and huge) BattleTech
universe.
IMHO, the title’s soundtrack by Gregory Alper & Jeehun Hwang remains one of the best
original scores for any game ever - not to speak of the game
featuring the best computer voice ever either ;)
I devoured most BattleTech novels as a teenager, especially those
authored by Robert N. Charrette. What about you? If not, you owe it to yourself as a
Sci-Fi fan.
Thanks to the treasure trove that is YouTube, you can enjoy some
gameplay footage if you missed out on MechWarrior 2 nearly fifteen
years ago.
A quick Google search reveals that I don’t seem to be alone with my appreciation for the soundtrack.
You can listen to it at the Videogame Music Preservation Foundation.
I’m off to the cellar to unearth my copy - if I remember right it had
a nifty small-format mech manual, with former pilot scribbles and
fingerprints all over it ;)
