I forgot which mechwarrior game had it on their instruction manual but to play the game with best possible graphics you had to have at least 100 megs of ram. I believe this option was called hardcore rigs only!
As a representative of my fleshy species I'd like to apologize for our stereotype of you as always being "good warriors". We know that there are more to robots than just scorched earth and plasma weapons.
This game owned, no matter how crappy you had to make the graphics so it would run. You forgot about graphics pretty quickly, especially in multiplayer.
