GearHead-2 v0.210 and Mecha Encyclopedia
Joe Hewitt
playable all the time... though I wouldn't say that it's there yet.
Still, there's enough to do that it should provide some amusement at
least. If you're interested in early beta versions of games try it and
let me know what you think.
The files can be downloaded from here:
http://gearhead.roguelikedevelopment.org

http://gearhead.roguelikedevelopment.org/gh2-0210-ascwin.zip
http://gearhead.roguelikedevelopment.org/gh2-0210-src.zip
Only one archive is needed to play. Download either the SDL graphical
version or the ASCII classical version if you have Windows, or compile
the source code yourself if using a different platform.
In addition, there is now a mecha encyclopedia at the GearHead site.
You can view it here:
