G-Nome is a video game developed by 7th Level video game company, which was released on February 28, 1997. The game was part of a new and popular genre of Mech games that offered gameplay where you control giant-robot-like machines called HAWCs (Heavy Armored Weapon Chassis), similar to the games of the Mechwarrior-Series or the games accompanying the Heavy Gear-Universe, which were published around that time. In addition to that, you can exit your vehicle and proceed on foot to either capture other HAWCs or to carry out tasks you cannot execute from within your machine. That way, the destruction of your Mech is not necessarily the end of the game, since you still have the chance of capturing a new one, if you left the old one in time. Players are restricted to within the game area by the Orbital defense kill zone. Should a player wander too far outside, a computer voice will warn the player. If the player continues, the computer will say "have a nice day", and the players HAWC will be destroyed by a huge laser blast, presumably from a space-based weapon. It is possible to eject to safety, however.
