Tech Level was a rating system developed in the MechWarrior, First Edition game. Its use was classify items for relative technological sophistication, comparison and availability. This scale was less granular than the current one found in the Classic BattleTech TechManual. The scale was written prior to the introduction of the Clans and Jihad, so no mention was made of those eras.
| Tech Level | Label | Time Period | Industry Required |
| 1 | Low Tech | Pre–twentieth century | Normal Industry |
| 2 | Medium Tech | Twentieth century or later | Normal Industry |
| 3 | HiTech | Terran Hegemony to Star League | Heavy Industry |
| 4 | Advanced HiTech | Lost Star League technology | "Black Box" - No longer understood or reproducible |
