I still have mine as well. I also have Mechwarrior 3. Also a great Microprose game.

They made some damn good sims... no level ups here sir.. just good old learning curve and a bit of luck.

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.

It's unfortunate when a once big name publisher goes out of business and since the games they made have stopped being supported there are no patches to allow continued use...

The whole Mechwarrior line is due to be released for free sometime in the future IIRC. I will look it up Tuesday and post the link if no one beats me to it.
