I'm a big fan of MechWarrior 2 (and 3). Mechwarrior 2 has a top-down satellite view that you normally don't use but it looks cool. So I made a mech game around that. Then I made a sequel inspired by the sequel to Mechwarrior 2: Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries.
I named them Navpoint Alpha and Navpoint Beta, because that's how the navpoints in the game are named. (Navpoint Gamma comes next.) A bit cheeky, but they are tributes to the original.
