EarthSiege 2 Installation Tutorial - Windows 10
This video is a tutorial on how to install Sierra's old "mech" combat simulation game EarthSiege 2 on a modern computer.
EarthSiege 2 was released for free by Hi-Rez Studios, in an effort to generate more hype for a major update to Tribes: Ascend, which takes place in the same game universe. Get it here:

The AVI files I refer to in the installation tutorial can be found here:

[2021 Updates]
Microsoft has blocked modern versions of Windows 10 from using the Compatibility Toolkit mentioned in the video here, so unfortunately that portion of the video no longer applies, and as such I don't know of a good way to run ES2 with a joystick on a modern computer. The fixed AVI files linked to above should still work, though.
The Tribes Universe page seems to still work, but it does not use https so most modern browsers will require that you override your security settings to access it. You, of course, do so at your own risk.
If you recently tried to download the AVI files but were blocked, that was because Google Drive has recently changed the format of their sharing links. I have updated the link, so it should work again.
