MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries - 1080p (?) - DXWND
i remember being impressed in 2000 and 2001 by these graphics. For their time they were pretty decent. The biggest 'eyesore' now I guess is the cluttered UI. Mechwarrior 2 aged better, I think, with its more minimalist UI.

I like this combined arms atmosphere when enemy and allied forces aren't only mechs but also vehicles, tanks and choppers and such, it looks great in motion.
Anyway I'm not even sure if I'm playing this game at 1080p that's why I put that question mark there, it looks too aliazed for 1080p to me but maybe it does other weird things for performance back in the day.

MechWarrior 2 DOS also looks better because it uses flat shaded polygons so it looks simplistic but super clean and stylized with bright colors and gradients, it's sweet aside from some distortion when objects are rendered on top of objects in front of them and the pixelated explosions. DOSBox is too fiddly for me and I can't get MW2's Windows 95 version (better looking than other 3D accelerated versions though DOS version still beats it) to work, it always crashes when loading a mission. It's such a shame games like this and X-Wing and such don't have source ports a la ZDoom available. Anyway, actual controls and gameplay in MW4 are top notch with a joystick.

Try disabling the textures I think it looks cooler. That HUD is definitely better styled than MW4's though it lacks in information, but it could be added in that style if they had wanted to instead of that mess :P
I actually got it to work after my post, the DOS and the Win95 versions, but I don't think I'll be playing it much, controls feel so much better in MW4 and I can map the torso to the twist of my joystick. Rad graphics though :P
