    The mid-90s were an awesome time to be a PC gamer; there were just so
    many terrific games to play. But some games got more attention than
    others. One of these games was, of course, "Doom". That game was
    everywhere. But maybe a close second --at least leading up to its
    release-- was "Mechwarrior II". The way it was being hyped up, you'd
    think it was the second coming. And why not? Who needs tiny
    space-marines when you got a 15m-tall battle-robot? Okay, maybe the
    game didn't have quite the longevity as did "Doom", but man were
    people excited about this game back in 1995.

    But what if you mixed them together? What if you got your peanut
    butter in my chocolate? What if --and stay with me on this-- you
    modded "Mechwarrior 2" into "Doom"?

    TL;DR:

    Mechdoomer: Rebooted v1.0 has been released.

    Yes, it's ridiculous. Yes, it makes no sense. Yes, you can mod your battlemechs. But it's about as 90s as you can get without a Nerf-gun
    shooting Sonic the Hedgehog branded Pogs while listening to Nirvana.
