Story:Front Mission 5: Scars of the War is the fifth in Square's Front Mission tactical RPG series. It brings the player back to a gritty futuristic world in which conflicts are waged between five world powers: the U.S.N., O.C.U., E.C., O.A.C., and the Republic of Zaftra. Such conflicts are waged with the wanzer, Front Mission-speak for mecha.
Gameplay-wise, the game is a true return to Front Mission 2 roots while incorporating various features from Front Mission 1, 3, and 4. The player takes part in turn-based missions, which pit their group of wanzers against enemy forces. Old features that have returned include the ability to upgrade parts and mission branching. New features to Front Mission 5 include friendly fire and the ability to recruit new pilots.Show more

This never got a proper release outside of Japan. While the fan translation made it accessible, there were so many hoops to jump through just so you can play it.
The whole Front Mission series (at least numbered entries) deserve a release for PC with proper translations. 5 is a perfect culmination of the series, going back to events seen in the other entries and sort of flushing out the world. For many of us, the remastered of 1,2 and 3 are not really making a good job of modernizing them.

BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' RevengeBattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' Revenge is the sequel to BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception. It is the year 3029 during the Succession Wars; as the nineteen-year-old Mechwarrior Jason Youngblood of the Lyran Commonwealth (House Steiner), it is time to strike back at the treacherous forces of the Draconis Combine (House Kurita), who captured Jason's father in the original BattleTech, and whom he has sworn to rescue.
Unlike its predecessor, the game inclines more towards RTS (real-time strategy) than role-playing gameplay style. The player will lead the forces of 31st Century BattleMechs (Warrior Robots) in a daring mission of rescue and revenge. The game consists of two parts - the storyline, which gives the player guidance and direction, and changes with the outcome of every decision made; and the scenarios, which are the arenas where the player watches his/her maneuvers unfold in real time. The game has digital speech and a technically advanced musical score.
Grey GooGrey Goo is a real-time strategy game features three factions -- the Beta, Humans and Goo -- each with its own style, strategies and epic units (very powerful, rare combatants that tower over the battlefield). The game features a single-player campaign and competitive multiplayer options. Both single and multiplayer modes require planning and intelligent decision making to capitalize on the build tree system and multiple tech upgrades available.Warfare Science fiction
