What is One Must Fall: 2097?

OMF 2097 (or simply 2097) is the best fighting game ever made for the PC, made in 1994 by Diversions Entertainment. It features an innovative pilot/robot combination similar to the Bushido Blade system, a completely unique RPG-like tournament mode, and oodles of secrets. (Not to mention a catchy soundtrack and 90-foot giant robots!)
