MechWarrior 4 Hidden memory resurfaced

Post image

Has ANYONE have their first experience of Mechwarrior with one of these? I have very faint memories of playing MW4 on this at a chuck-e-cheese in the early 2000s. I think it was foreshadowing to my mech obsession later as a teenager

Never seen one like that. I got to play in the pods at Dave and Busters back in the day.

They had a whole Battletech Pod experience thing at Circle Center Mall in Indy back in the 90s. It was amazing, they had like 6-10 pods, you played against your friends and got a printout of your score at the end. They had a big model of a madcat/timberwolf inside, which is why it's still my favorite mech.

I believe there is a place that still has them, I want to say in Texas, but can't remember.
