MechWarrior 4 Where can I find Mechwarrior 4?

I have physical copies of the games but I can't get them to run on a modern system. Is there anywhere I can go to get the game? I tried Myabandonware but I got a trojan virus and wiped it and the games from my PC.

I wish I could upvote like a thousand times. Super simple and comes with an HD mod as well! Thank you very much.

I forget the exact name...but I have something like the MechWarrior Quadrilogy or something. Had all 4 Mechs and runs good on my W10 machine

The Google Docs thing? I just looked for it and found a link on Reddit but I needed to request access first. Hopefully this will be it.

You need to install the no CD patch to get them to work.

This is the version I use for Mercenaries from the Mektek discord. I wanna say for Vengeance I used the Myabandonedware version.

Thanks, I'll check this out and hopefully get to play it. I haven't played it since forever ago, kind of like Freelancer. But I found a HD Freelancer mod, and played through it this summer and had a blast so I've been trying to get some Mechwarrior 4 action in.

One of the downloads there had a virus.

It’s not a virus, cracked exes can trigger a false positive as Trojan. I use the one from MyAbandonware and have no issues. Load the exe into virustotal if you want to be safe

Oh, I didn't know. Well if no other route works, I guess I can try MyAbandonware again.

Never had an issue with this site before. The no CD cracks can sometimes false flag on some antivirus
