So, I remember there being a turn-based "game" or rather platform for playing the battletech board game on a computer. Since I'm in a mechwarrior mood, but also a turn-based strategy mood, I'm trying to find it, but I can't.
I'm not talking about the new MW: Tactics or whatever it's called, but an older program, I think it's not officially affiliated with the battletech line. It has very simplistic graphics, basically just quite simple pixel-art, and follows the original board game rules of battletech (as far as I'm aware). It's a freeware.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? If I can just figure out the name I can find it, but my google-fu is weak and I just can't find it because all searches end up on the battletech wiki or the MW: Tactics game.
Also, anyone have suggestions on games that are battletech-ish? Preferably turn-based strategy, but other games are also interesting.
So far I've played the original mechwarrior series 1-4, mechwarrior online (which was neat for a while but not really to my taste, prefer MW:4 actually) and this turn-based platform I can't put my finger on.
Thanks a lot for any aid :)
Dotting because I like turn-based strategy games.

Hey, I found it now!
It's named MegaMek in case anyone cares. If someone want to hook up for a game I'm all for it, though I'm reaaaally crappy at it (mostly have played the mechwarrior action games).

You may enjoy Front mission 4 on the PlayStation 2. It is turn based strategy. With RPG caracter(pilot) growth. You buy vanger(german for walking tank) legs, arms, tourso to make your one mech, or vanger as this series calls them.
PS3/x360 have front mission evolved but it is not turnbased strategy, they turned it into either a fps or 3ps. It actually looks a lot Luke the new titianfall game.
FRONT MISSION 4 LIFE!!!!!
