Loved the Genesis version. It was Desert Strike with mechs. This is my kind of activity book!
EldoniousRexCatalyst just released a #Battletech Activity book. I'm seeing a lot of posts about it on Tumblr. The book has a ton of my lineart illustrations; much more than I'm posting here. Always, strange to see work I've completely forgot about. "Ohhhh Yeah...I did do the new Lament lineart."

Fuck the modern game industry, seriously. I cannot wait for it to collapse.
