Take a good look at this clip...brings back lots good old memories (at least for me) 
(edit: watch in 720P full screen, you also may want to watch it a few times to get a real feel for the differences
)
It is quite something to see the difference in rendering between the rival video card brands. I could have had quite a different experience with a different video card. In case you were wondering I had the ATI Rage...amazing how unstable that card was-(the crashes and video lag got much worse with Mechwarrior 2 Mercs
) I never knew there was a different "correct sky" for some of those levels .
But I suppose what I liked most about this video is that the Mechwarrior 2 visuals are done justice...I'm sorry but DOSBOX is just bad
...proper reflections, textures, proper mech models, everything looks so much better...I have seen very few youtube videos that actually use the video cards of that age (for obvious reasons, but the effort counts!)
Tell me what you guys think? Any other avid fans of the Mechwarrior 2 series?
Good times...
P.S. the Mech explosions are awesome (and funny)
