Denver, CO
I grew up in Chicago and we went and played these. At the time, 1992...it was beyond cool, but had no idea what we were doing and all died pretty quickly. Great memory, thanks for the flash back.

Quoted from toyotaboy:Me too.. Navy pier. They'd also have that tethered virtuality (dactyl nightmare) game setup at baha beach club.
While this is cool, it would only be for nostalgia. For the same amount of money I imagine you could buy some nice PC's, wire in your own custom lighted buttons and foot pedals, and play a much more modern game with better frame rate. Part of the appeal going to battletech was playing complete strangers, picking a username, then getting a print out of how you did. Also the atmophere was really cool, high tech looking walls and desks, fake news reports playing on TV screens everywhere with anchors that dressed futuristic.
Hahaha, holy shite. Great memory man. It was such a big deal to head down to navy pier and wait in line to get your ass handed to you. You are right though, the atmosphere they created was a large part of the experience.
