I LOVE Mechwarrior III. In my opinion, it's the best mech game ever made and no mech game that's come out after it can even hold a candle to it. The only problem is that it HATES Windows XP, even if you change the compatability mode. You end up with enemy units bouncing all around like they were those rubber superballs, not to mention the game crashing every couple minutes. The only way I can imagine running it is to have a virtual machine running Windows 98, or a dual boot to Windows 98. It's sad that there's no patches out there to fix it for XP.
