I guess I just find mechs themselves to be kinda ugly and off-putting. I was gonna say something like "dude you gotta play the Metal & Lace games" but then I remembered those are robots not mechs. |

Oh, yeah. Robots. Robots are bad.  I finally found the time to give some semblance of order to the 1st person mech games list, so there you go. Mobile Suit Gundam: Last Shooting (MSX, 1984)
Mobile Suit Z Gundam: Hot Scramble (NES/GBA, 1986)
MechWarrior (DOS/SNES, 1989)
Metaltech: Earthsiege (DOS, 1994)
MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat (PC/Saturn/PS1, 1995)
Space Griffon VF-9 (PS1/Dreamcast, 1995)
Ghen War (Saturn, 1995)
Robotica (Saturn, 1995)
GunGriffon (Saturn, 1995)
Metal Head (32X, 1995)
Kileak: The DNA Imperative (PS1, 1995)
Epidemic (PS1, 1995)
Wrath of Earth (DOS, 1995)
MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries (PC, 1996)
Earthsiege 2 (PC, 1996)
Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: The Blue Destiny Vol. 1-2-3 (Saturn, 1996)
Shattered Steel (MS-DOS, 1996)
Krazy Ivan (PS1/PC/Saturn, 1996)
BRAHMA Force: The Assault on Beltlogger 9 (PS1, 1996)
Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri (DOS, 1996)
G-Nome (PC, 1997)
Heavy Gear (PC, 1997)
Shogo: Mobile Armor Division (PC, 1998)
GunGriffon II (Saturn, 1998)
MechWarrior 3 (PC, 1999)
Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise from the Ashes (Dreamcast, 1999)
Heavy Gear II (PC, 1999)
MechWarrior 4: Vengeance (PC, 2000)
GunGriffon Blaze (PS2, 2000)
Parkan: Iron Strategy (PC, 2001)
MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries (PC, 2002)
Steel Battalion (Xbox, 2002)
Battle Engine Aquila (PS2/Xbox/PC, 2003)
GunGriffon Allied Strike (Xbox, 2004)
Steel Battalion: Line of Contact (Xbox, 2004)
Mobile Suit Gundam: Operation: Troy (Xbox 360, 2008) I'm sure I'm missing dozens of obscure Japanese games. I have deliberately veered clear of arcade games, but I know for a fact that there are many arcade-only 1st person mech games out there in Japan. Kidō Senshi Gundam: Senjō no Kizuna being one of them. |

Nice list you've got there, but yeah there's a lot from the '90s, so it's easy to miss some. This one's not on your list:

Yeah, missed that one. It was published by Atlus, too. Dub is exactly what you would expect from a PS1 localization of an obscure Japanese game, nice.
I added it to the list. Same with the MechWarrior series - dreadful case of selective amnesia there. That's like making a Souls-like games list and forgetting Demon's Souls.

I wonder if there's a way to play Vortex with a framerate that's not a literal slideshow.

Aaaaactually, there probably is. There's a speedy mode on the newly-implemented Super FX core on the SD2SNES, and I know that you can boost the Super FX speed with some command-line parameters on the SNES Classic as well. As for PC emulators... I think there are some that have an overclock feature, but I don't actually know how difficult that makes the game assuming there's no other speed throttling elsewhere.

That could definitely be cool if it's possible! I still love the aesthetic of Star Fox and Vortex, but yeah going back to those insane framerates is kind of hard. At least Star Fox (1) is a fixed perspective. Vortex was pretty ambitious. Killer OST though.
