The CD case was all warped due to heat, the CD didn't survive either :/
How long was it there? Some years, i think

I need this to play when my computer starts up..does Linux have a way to do this??..questions for later.
In KDE, YES!
Crap, I can't remember 100% how I did it but they support sound themes now.
But my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed system running KDE6 starts up with this startup sound, I think I pulled the MechWarrior Online startup sound off YouTube or something. :)
...Now if only I could make my car do this... ๐
Oh...my gosh..I didn't even think about having this in a car! I don't need to go down this rabbit hole but this is risking it lol
Yes, I've been messing with it lately, can't remember the details, but i'll go look I'm a while.
Edit: the dos version works fine in dosbox, the only thing I see is a note in my startup conf reminding me to stop my kvm, barrier. have not succeeded in running any of the better graphics build.
If you need just the straight up music/sfx files, I do believe I have a copy of this game on a cd still (and the original expansion disk!) that I can copy and put somewhere for people.
Just add a service that plays a sound on system startup
Never done that before but I'm sure I can figure it out, thanks!
