Hey Brix if you want to play Mechwarrior 2 I recommend getting the initial version for MS-DOS. The 3dfx versions were numerous, almost every vendor had its own version as there was no unified API at the time. I’ve got that first version running on DOSBox and it works great, way better than back in 1995 on my Pentiom 75MHz 
Software mode supports up to 1024x768 resolution (much higher than any accelerated version) and that flat-shaded graphics has it’s own unique aesthetic only enriched by its awesome redbook CD audio…
