We also had a lunch made /out/ of Tyrant Games only a few months ago
on rec.games.mecha; check their web site.  The art is juvenile, the
mechanics are not on anything /like/ a nodding acquaintance with
reality and from a basic reading of what they produced looks to be a
munchkin's dream come true on the minmax front, the setting is
derivitive and, basically, from everything I could tell, this
including the posts of the authors on the newsgroup, Tyrant probably
/deserves/ to die a quick but not painless death for producing this
travesty.

Mind you, it might be just what you're looking for, but I'm with a
pickier bunch, I suppose.  The discussion should still be on the Deja
News server if you want to review it.
