I used as a QA Engineer for Transmeta, a startup that made low power CPUs for laptops. One of the ways I loved to test our chips was by playing MechWarrior 2. Basically I tried to break the chips using a video game where you run around in a mech (a giant robot with guns) shooting other mechs.

In the game, some mechs could jump using jump jets. One day I noticed that the jump jets recharged much more slowly on Transmeta chips than they did on our Intel reference chips. The recharge rate on a Transmeta chip was something like 10 or 20% the rate it should have been.

To my knowledge, no one ever figured out why. I'm wondering if someone here happens to have worked on, or can legally share the source code for, MechWarrior 2. I'm curious how the jump jet recharging worked, and whether that might offer some clue as to why the recharging happened so slowly on Transmeta chips!
