So you want to build yourself a little fun RTS???? :)

Microsoft released the Microsoft MechCommander 2 Shared Source, offering everything needed to compile a working version of the 2001 strategy game. It is about 1 GB.

if you RTFA, or read the download description anyways, it says "This release contains all of the source code and source assets required to build MechCommander 2."

Assets means textures, sounds, etc. All the content. So, yes, if you download this and XNA, you can get yourself a fully working copy. There's no CD keys, so go for it.

Read that SharedSource license VERY carefully before you download. I think MS is using it as an anti-competitive tool.
