MechWarrior, is that you?
- by Fraser Gilbert
While compiling our full list of Xbox Retro Classics launch games earlier today, I couldn’t help but notice we’ve got a PlayStation 1 game in the mix! MechWarrior 2 is that game, first released for the PS1 back in April of 1997.
To explain, Xbox Retro Classics uses Antstream Arcade’s streaming technology to stream the PS1 version of MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat to whatever device you’re playing on, meaning you’re getting the true PlayStation version of this game – rather than the Windows, DOS or Mac versions that were also released, for example.
The same principle applies to every other game that’s included as part of Xbox Retro Classics, with some of them being SNES versions, some AMIGA versions, some DOS versions, some Atari 2600 versions, etc.
There are loads of notable games that might take your fancy more than this one, including the likes of Pitfall, Commando and Grand Prix, but I was personally drawn to MechWarrior 2 above all else – and can’t wait to give it a try!
If you’re looking for more information on Xbox Retro Classics, we’ve been talking about it a fair bit this afternoon here at Pure Xbox, so we’ll drop some related articles below. It’s free to play with all Xbox Game Pass memberships right now.
