🕹️ Bytes of Gaming History ⏳

I love catching glimpses of Steel Battalion in all its glory back in the day. Here at E3 2002, a would-be mech jockey takes it for a test spin, big ass HOTAS array an' all.

Fun fact: That Mech Jockey is Ed Valiente!

Source: I was the other guy demoing the game at E3 that year!

:D

In fact, I found a better shot of him on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/steelbattaliononline/comments/10h4r52/e3_2002/#lightbox

Hey that's our subreddit :)

Oooh! Thank you for the heads up on that, sheepie! <3 Can you remember much from your E3 days? If so, I'd love to preserve those memories in Scanlines.

Sure! :)

a custom cabinet of this would be the dream

I have played this

I was pretty sure I had photos too but it's been years since I got to play it at a public game thing where it was on display. But it is a lot of fun

Ah Steel Battalion. A game where an engineering degree and a third arm are mandatory, and that's just to start the mech.

quantum redshift was fun

A PC port of this game (with compatibility for non-oem flight sticks) would probably do numbers if they released it now

I’ve never really wanted to play Steel Battalion until see it presented like this. Giant screen? Mech controls? I’m in!

There are days where I wish I didn't sell that controller. What a singular experience. I miss the big chunky peripheral days.
