MechCommander Redux

An unofficial recreation of MechCommander Gold (FASA Interactive / MicroProse, 1999) for modern 64-bit systems.

MechCommander Redux rebuilds MechCommander Gold’s game code as 64-bit C++. The original game was a 32-bit Win32 program built on DirectDraw, DirectSound, DirectPlay and Smacker video. Redux keeps the game’s own classes, functions and logic, rewritten as modern C++, and replaces that Windows/DirectX layer with SDL3.

It is not an emulator and not a patch to the original executable. It is a from-scratch reconstruction that reads the data files from your own copy of MechCommander Gold.
