Battletech ran on Amiga hardware? Article claims it's Windows-based, but the older version they described might be the one that's Amiga-based (another source says the hardware was Amiga-based, but doesn't mention a Windows version, so who knows). I didn't know this about Battletech and never played it myself, but this sounds parallel to Virtuality, another commercial VR system that started on Amiga hardware and moved to PC in later versions. From this reddit link (and a bit from a Wikipedia page), here's what Virtuality ran:
1000CS (Cyber Space) Dactyl Nightmare - Multiplayer map with several levels and platforms; grenade launcher weapons and pterodactyl enemy Grid Busters - Robot shoot-em-up Hero - A puzzle game Legend Quest - Fantasy adventure
1000SD (Sit Down) Battlesphere - Space battle Exorex - Robot warriors Flying Aces - A biplane dogfight simulator Total Destruction - combat Racing game VTOL - A Harrier Jump Jet simulator
2000SU (Stand Up) Boxing Dactyl Nightmare 2 - Race For The Eggs! Dactyl Nightmare SP Pacman VR Shoot for Loot Sphere Zone Hunter
2000SD (Sit Down) Buggy Ball Ghost Train Missile Command X-treme Strike
3000SU (Stand Up)(Compressed Air Recoil) Quickshot Carnival Zero Hour (Last Game They developed)
1000 series units were Amiga 3000-based, 2000 and 3000 series were PC-based.
