MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat is a 1995 computer game produced by Activision. It separates itself from the original board game Battletech by placing the player inside the cockpit of the BattleMech, making the game more of a simulator than of a strategy game. This game has had multiple releases, initially for MS-DOS then Microsoft Windows with versions designed around different videocards with 3D acceleration. MechWarrior 2 was also ported to the Sega Saturn and the Sony PlayStation as MechWarrior 2: Arcade Combat Edition, with less simulation-like and more action-oriented gameplay.
