I still play Heavy Gear 2 once in a while. I personally think it's the best sim for capturing the feel of anime mecha combat since there's an emphasis on maneuverability and marksmanship versus the brute force hit points (yeah, armor points) based approach of Battletech and Mechwarrior.

You can still find HG2 on ebay. Virtually no one plays it online anymore since the official servers are long dead and you can't use TCP/IP. There are new host files that allow you to play on some private servers that are still operational but they're pretty much empty.
