MechAssault was the first Mech vieo game published for the Xbox. Developed by Day 1 Studios and published by Microsoft, MechAssault was released in November of 2002. The initial release of the game had a bug that allowed Xbox hackers to run unsigned code from a memory card. This issue was fixed in the Platinum Hits version. A sequel, MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf, was released on December 28, 2004. Both games are set in the BattleTech universe and are a part of the MechWarrior family of computer games.
