MechWarrior 3050 was a Super Nintendo exclusive game released in 1995. Ok, not really. Almost exactly the same game was released for the Sega Genesis under the name BattleTech the year before. Both games got mixed reviews. The game was quite good in a number of ways but it had a high difficulty level that could lead to frustration. The game was very similar for both systems with the SNES being praised for better graphics in general but the Genesis version getting credit for smoother animation and better controls.

This game is played from an isometric point of view and can be played with one or two players (cooperative). If two players are playing, one controls movement and the other controls the turret and firing. Personally, I always preferred the more simulation oriented first person MechWarrior games on the PC (I mostly played MechWarrior 2).
