What is Battletech: Firestorm? Here’s a quick overview from the website:
“
VGCORPS presents the ultimate giant robot simulation experience!For the first time at A-Kon, you can be the pilot of a multi-ton armored behemoth. Come play Battletech Firestorm™ in our completely immersive Virtual World Battlemech™ combat simulator pods. Engage your friends and computer opponents for explosive head to head combat in the most realistic Battletech cockpit simulators ever produced. Prospective mechjocks should report to the PODBAY on the third level (convention side) in the San Antonio B ballroom. Missions run 24 hours a day. While you are there, check out our exclusive line of Battletech™ merchandise. Uniformed VGCORPS personnel will be roving throughout the convention to answer questions and pose for pictures. For more information, vist us online at www.vgcorps.com.” . . . When seated in the Tesla IITM System cockpit for your BattleTech: Firestorm game, you will be amazed. The BattleTech game is like nothing you have experienced before. The main screen is a window, your view from your giant 'Mech. Five surrounding monitors display your 'Mech's systems. A secondary radar screen helps you hunt down your opponents. The throttle, foot pedals and military-style joystick help you pilot this massive fighting machine. At your fingertips are enough weapons to destroy anything in your path. Or so you think.
The depth of the BattleTech game is unparalleled in location based entertainment. As your skills progress in the game, you discover more advanced systems and controls. You are responsible for the 'Mech's wear and tear. You control how much use you get out of the 'Mech. There are over thirty different 'Mechs to choose from. Each has a variation on size, speed, weapons and controls. Choose from more than twenty different battlefields, including cities, swamplands, canyons, and more.”
