        The BattleTech that I am familiar with is a role-playing game
with a HEAVY emphasis on combat as done by giant robots (a la
ROBOTECH). This is usually done on your typical tabletop with
models, but I could see that it could be adapted to a VR combat
setup rather well. But it sure wouldn't be much of an arcade 
game.
