Battle Tech: The Crescent Hawk's Revenge
BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Revenge is a real-time tactics game based in the FASA BattleTech universe. Developed by Westwood Studios for Mediagenic, and produced by Scott Berfield, it is a major milestone in the gaming industry in that the game serves as a prototype for what later became Dune 2, the first real-time strategy title on the PC.
Essentially, The Crescent Hawk's Revenge was the turning point in PC strategy gaming, where a genre formerly dominated by turn-based titles would begin a massive shift towards real-time. Later Westwood titles, Dune 2 and Command & Conquer, would expand this newly-established real-time strategy gameplay.
