Got AC1 back in '97 when I was a wee lad of, you guessed it, 7. Shit was off the hook, I remember not upgrading my mech because I didn't understand the garage mechanic and made it all the way to the mission where you have to take out the corrosive gas generators in that weapons plant with the starter mech. Which by the way, always looked so fucking cool. Seriously, why couldn't they give us the Lady-B for the starter head in the later games? After that, I went searching for PP, but I could never find it, so I grabbed MoA when it came out and discovered the joys of the MG-500 with dual ammo extenders. Seriously, that and a moonlight are all you need for single player. I wish they'd bring back the ranker maker system from MoA. I thoroughly enjoyed making my own ladder of uber H+ ACs and then fighting to the top. The second disc with the extra arena ladders was especially fun. I recall on later play throughs I'd just go through the Sub-Arena and get some cash to make the mods necessary to compete in the various Leg-Type only ladders and get most of my pre-story money there. I like being able to customize my robot the way I like, but something about building on a budget is just so appealing, lol.
