Description
Game description from Romhacking.net:
People in the scene go wild over many of the things in Japan. J-Pop. Giant Mechas. Strategy RPGs. Well, Front Mission takes two of those three things (guess which ones), and swirls them together. The combination of giant robots with huge-ass guns fighting in a turn-based strategy environment should satisfy the inner fan-boy in all of us. The graphics are beautiful, and the gameplay is excellent SRPG fare.

The single player mode uses battery back save ram but the 2 player mode uses passwords.

Not released outside of Japan, but a patch is available. This concerns the exploits of the second Huffman war from the perpective of a mercenary squad called 'Carrion Crew'. Lots of Wanzer battles.
