What versions will run on NT/2000/XP?
Basically, all DOS versions of all Mechwarrior 2 games will run. For the most part, that’s all you need to know. Some Windows Mechwarrior 2 games will partially run, with some of the Netmechs working at full capacity. Still, we have chosen to use the DOS Netmech. Also, there is also a partial exception to DOS always running… the 3DFX Interactive Edition of Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries contains a DOS version which will start up, but will crash in the single player sim, either immediately, or after a few seconds of play (even in windows 9X!). This is due to a quirk with the PRJ file included on the Mercs3DFX disk. It is geared for running the Windows 3FDX edition, but something has become broken for dos in the upgrade. If you have this version, Mercnet will still work, but you will be unable to play singleplayer. If you want to play it, you’ll either need to download the CD spawns, or someone will have to send you the proper PRJ file, or you’ll have to get another DOS version CD of Mercs
