This is the official MechCommander Gold - Expansion pack ISO - the last officially released MechCommander Fullversion by FASA interactive. You need this ISO file when you would like to play any fullversion of MechCommander that is available on ModDB.
See summary above. For all MechCommander fans this ISO file is a must have. Long time it was hosted by NGNG on their NoGutsNoGalaxy forums - but they went offline - due to the fact MC1 and MCG are freeware, i reuploaded the original ISO here.
When you are looking for JUST the MechCommander 1 / MC1 original ISO without any expansion you should have a look here. But i warn you - for MC1 basic version i offer no technical support. Most of the files are overhauled or remastered by me in more up to date versions below.
General instructions to be able to play MechCommander again:
Download one of the available MechCommander High resolution, original or Darkest Hours fullversions, mount the iso and start playing from the downloaded and extracted game folders that you have got from modDB.
Freeware proof / reference (Freeware since 2006):
Warning: Physically MechCommander can NOT be installed on Windows8-10 or above. To workaround you can download a prepared full installed game folder. Extract and place the game folder on your hard-disk. Mount the iso file in a virtual drive (Win10 right mouse klick and you will sh.. bricks) - and starting the game by executing one of the MCG.exe files in the game folders on your hard-disk.
ModDB Original game folder full version downloads for MechCommander:
Recommended: Each standalone version above must be stored in a seperate MCG gamefolder. I recommend you name this folders like above or similar to it.
Here is my folder structure:
I can run any campaign just by starting it from the chosen pre-installed game folder. All can be downloaded from modDB.
For modders/developers:
This file is not a .ISO file it downloads as a 7zip file with the game folder inside I cannot mount this in win10.
You're wrong, this is the iso file. The file you talk about is another download. Read the download descriptions!
