be about $140 average, but could be lower, if a simple problem.

assistant: No, I've played all of the cresent Hawk Battletech games.  Those were
the IBM version of the Battletech games.  They were ok, but it got away
from the "Hex-Miniture" version of the game and got more into the more
graphic adventure concept.  The original Amiga version was exactly like
the actual miniture game.  That's what I'm looking for.  and if that
weren't asking enough, I wouldn't mind finding an IBM version of that
original (if slightly simple) game.
