Hawakening is using a build of the game that was before it was bought out by 505. No multiplayer there either, but the test arena still works (vs bots).
Original devs were great, but game stagnated due to money management problems. After 505 Games took over from the original devs, game balance went downhill fast as they ported the game to consoles and tried to go pay-to-win; massively nerfed old mechs, overpowered real-money-only new mechs. They thanked the PC gamers for sticking around for years by shutting down the PC servers but keeping the console servers up. I spent over 1000 hrs on Steam + pre-Steam days, lots of good times, but I don't have much faith in 505 Games. Noticed this new game has no multiplayer, only 5 mechs, only 6 maps.
Sigh.

This port was awesome to play!
I once had the same book (101 Basic Computer Games), and converted the program to Commodore 64 basic and it's 40-character-wide screen, saved to a tape drive. I even added an option at the beginning to increase phaser power by routing through the warp engines, but if either became too damaged you lost both phasers and warp (like in the first movie). I tried adding planets and text-based missions, but sadly the variables I required wouldn't fit in 64k of memory.... Good times!

As long as everyone on board had the steak dinner and not the fish, everything will be okay.

I can't imagine even considering buying that Diablo bust. Let me reward Blizzard by giving them $150 for ruining the Diablo franchise! Where's Disney at, I'll buy a Rey "Skywalker" bust next for $1138?
Make sure to ask for the version with the Dolby THX speakers.
I wish game companies would quit trying to monetize nostalgia without bothering to understand said nostalgia. It's like trying to sell me a zombie version of a beloved pet.
