BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk’s Inception on the Commodore 64 is a turn-based RPG/adventure set in the BattleTech universe, where you play cadet Jason Youngblood training to be a MechWarrior on the planet Pacifica when a surprise Draconis Combine attack wipes out the Citadel and scatters your allies. The game starts with a series of BattleMech and small-arms training missions that earn you skills and C-bills, then opens into a more traditional RPG phase as you roam towns and wilderness, recruit companions, fight turn-based battles on foot and in ‘Mechs, and scrape together the resources needed to locate and open a hidden Star League cache tied to your father’s legacy. Along the way you’re effectively building up the elite Crescent Hawks unit, learning the ropes of ‘Mech combat and survival in a war-torn corner of the Inner Sphere.
