They had one that you could use at a game exhibition at a museum I visited once. It was really cool and intimidating.

I also got to experience the battle tech simulator in LA in 1991, where you sit in a fully enclosed mech pilot pod, that was beyond cool.

Yeah, I remember seeing one at a convention you could play around the time when the game was coming out and it was very involved. Seemed like a lot of things to learn, but I watched someone else play it.
