MechCommander was at the cutting edge of gaming technology when it was first introduced in the late 90’s and I’ll bet I spent more hours playing the game than I care to admit. It quickly became a benchmark for games at that time it was so good. So what am I doing mentioning it now? Well, you can download both the original MechCommander and MechCommander 2 for free and play to your heart’s content. They even have the manuals available so what are you waiting for? Go get it!

And, if you’re interested in becoming a programmer or are looking for an ambitious project for your XNA Game Studio Express, you can download the source code to MechCommander 2 as well!
