I think they had one in "Command and Conquer - Tiberian Sun". They also had Jumpjet Infantry, but I didn't like the FM....  :D

I still want BattleMechs.

I had a new player asking everybody for the "secret" order you had to fly through the hangers at an nme base so the Golden Power Ups would show up.

(you have to get the Golden Power Ups before you can rescue the Princess)

Was a good 2 hours of mild amusment for me.

I like telling them that theres a cheatcode to upgrade the C-47 to a Puff. The subsequent questioning is usually good for a larf.

The orbital laser you mentioned is referred to as "puffy ack" here in AH.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
