Also one of the best damn SNES games ever with mechs: Metal Warriors. Best 16 bit two player game ever.

the overplayed SPEND ACTION POINTS TO MOVE AND SHOOT!!!! formula (why hasn't anyone else picked up on the truly awesome simultaneous action system of the Combat Mission franchise?)


I like the concept of that system, but never CM's execution of it. One minute is just way too long to hand control of your units over to a spotty AI. I always felt like I was playing an RTS with one minute lag between orders and execution. Then there's the fact that the side without tanks loses to the one with them, and tank to tank combat is usually one big crapshoot.

You should definately check out lasersquad nemesis. It's like X-com mixed with the combat mission model. You each get a squad and plot out combat mission like moves and hit GO to play out 8 seconds. The only real problem is the imbalance between races. Marines wipe the floor with machina, machina decimate spawn, and spawn slaughter marines. Haven't played with the greys so I don't know how they fit in.
