The BattleTech boxed set is the core product of the BattleTech board game that spawned the BattleTech universe. This board game was also marketed as Classic BattleTech for a time, to differentiate it from the numerous distinct spinoff games set in the BattleTech universe.

1984: Battledroids
There is no proper "First Edition" of BattleTech. The inaugural game was instead called Battledroids, and was released by FASA in 1984. Like all subsequent boxed sets, the box contained a rulebook, a pair of dice, and two (identical) fold-out paper playing mapsheets with a hex grid.
