I've held onto this bad boy for years and now that I've beaten it several hundred times over I guess its time to pass it on to someone who'll get as many years of enjoyment out of it as I have.
It plays on any version PS1, PS2, and has been played on the PS3 several times.
Wikipedia Entry
Front Mission 3 is a mech turn-based strategy RPG, where the player goes through a series of battles interspersed with cutscenes. The player's party consists of several playable characters (PCs) and the mechs they pilot, referred to as Wanzers. Wanzers are customisable, consisting of four parts: body, two arms, and legs. An optional backpack unit can also be attached, which can either be an item container or a power booster.
Battles takes place on maps consisting of a rectangular piece of terrain divided into a grid of tiles. The player may deploy a maximum of 4 units, and gets the first move. Each team moves all their units before the turn switches to the other team. In certain maps there may be friendly units which either help the player or need to be protected. In several other maps the enemy may receive reinforcements in the form of additional units which appear on the battle on later turns. Enemy units are defeated by destroying their Wanzers, killing the pilots driving them, or forcing them to surrender. Most battles are won through the destruction or surrender of all enemy units.
In between battles the story progresses through a series of semi-interactive cutscenes, referred to as intermissions. The player may save the game at any point during an intermission. Player characters each have an email address, as well as a shared one for the team. This is mostly for receiving messages, although characters can only reply to certain messages with predefined replies. There is also a virtual network set up as a sort of mini internet, containing websites which can be accessed after their addresses are discovered, either through interaction with NPCs, reading hints on other websites, or through the email system.
I'll be sending the game in a padded envelope via Media Mail since its cheaper and a fixed rate. Anyone interested thats outside the US please PM so we can figure out shipping to wherever you.
Any and all offers will be considered. I just want this game to fall into the hands of someone who's a fan of the series or just loves mech games in general.
