Ohhh yeah i got back even futher then AOL and gamestorm I played GEnie MPBT in the early 90s. use to cost 6.99 then 2.99 a hour to play and i ran up some huge huge credit card bills.
It was far better then AOLs and gamestorms solaris IMO
We actually fought a real planetary battles with the 5 houses.
WE fought over planets, took planets made supply routes for parts and mechs, you leveled up getting access to better mechs. Our MERCS were for hire and you could contract them for repairs and money.
We could hold 1000 on at once which in the early 90s was a lot. We were always full.
That was back in the day we typed in our dial up commands
I had so much fun in MPBT 3025 I know theres manys till around TBC is sitll around but getting very old and I was always at odds with them. Mainly cause their leader was a sysop and cheated often. Like the time he attacked Stieners capital planet which I know longer can remember its name and had no supply lines. But he did get away with it, And it still took everything his merc ( clanners ) had and house Marik House LIAO to take it but only because he cheated lol,
BUt yes I was around for all the versions of mpbt
I also played GAMESTORMS ALiens online and that rocked also
