installation on a windows machine or the contents of the MCG disk or you can install from an ISO. If
you are installing from an ISO start by opening up a root terminal. After entering your password create
a directory where you will be mounting the disc using:

Code: [Select]mkdir name_of_your_dirThen run:

Code: [Select]mount -o loop your_disk.iso /name_of_your_dirreplacing , “name_of_your_dir”with the
directory name you wish to use for your mount folder, and “your_disk.iso” for the name of your iso file. If
this works you will see the disk contents in your mount folder. In this folder run: Love mods? Sign up to our newsletter for the

Game description
The classic Mech Commander Series was released for free by Microsoft. You play the commander of the
‘Federation Suns’ charged with ridding a planet of the forces of the evil ‘Smoke Jaguars’. The game can be
played against the computer or human players on-line (either in battles or co-operative games). The player
assumes the role of the commander of Zulu company from the Federated Commonwealth’s First Davion
Guards, and the planet Port Arthur must be taken back from the Clan Smoke Jaguar. The plan is to
systematically establish a beachhead on the planet, then cut off supply lines to the Jaguars, and finally
retake cities and territories until the final mission at the Port Arthur staircase. The campaign mode is 30
missions long, divided into five operations, each six missions long.
Requirements
- The free Porting Kit app
- A two Button USB mouse with scroll-wheel (recommended)

Important Notes
- The Disc Image needs to be mounted in order to play the game!
