Gotta agree with Jaz. If it doesn't have derms then it's not the ultimate mecha game
Since no one has guessed that game I'll give it another shot (I cheated this time )
Is it mechwar?
In several of the Earthsiege games, you fight against Cybrids - basically autopilots that rebelled against their treatment by their human masters. Because some worlds posessed a rather harsh environment, humans decided not to risk their own lives, so they developed bioderms (or 'derms), fast-cloned, short-lived, imperfect but tough workers and later soldiers. In the Cybrid wars, they used 'derms as soldiers. This is the case in Cyberstorm... you as the troop commander can create pilot 'derms by the press of the button. They are your slaves: you name them, you decide to treat them or not if they were 'damaged' in battle. They become genetically unstable ~ old after a while and then die, and if you run out of money, you can recycle them. This is just another press of the button.I just want to know what the hell a "bioderm" is....
Cyberstorm 2 dropped everything that had made the first game so good: the cool HERC bay and base animations, the story, the well-balanced difficulty. Hardly anything in that game made sense, and it was way too difficult.
All that and one more thing that drove me nuts. It took a calculating strategy game and turned it into real-time mess(Cyberstorm was TB).
The reviews for it are great, but they all have one thing in common. You have to be a serious mech fan. Tons of statistics. Sounds like my kind of game. Too bad this didn't come out for the C64 or Dos.
@ JDR13: Yes, it did. Cyberstorm 2 was just plain unplayable in RT; every mission was like 'start - trrrrrtrrrrrtrrrrr- you're dead'. In TB mode, it was just as unplayable, but death was delayed: 'start - move - trrrrrtrrrrrtrrrrr - you're dead'.
Don't blame your computer... that's pretty much the way the game worked.(...) but it wouldn't run at the correct speed on my system. It installed and started just fine, but the battle mode moved so fast that I couldn't tell what was happening.
No. Are they good?Have you ever played any of the Front Mission games for Playstation 1/2?
No. Are they good?
@DA
I FOUND IT. Took me forever. Is it Mechforce
Never played any games on the Amiga. I grew up with the C64.

However, there are still no derms within the game. So it can never be the ultimate.
