Mercs?

How was "Mercs" for the Genesis, that was one title I never got to pick up and play, was it any good?

Genny "Mercs" RULES.

I always WANTED to like the arcade game. I was a fan of Capcom's Commando but the coin-op "Mercs", which sure looks like a sequel, was just way too hard for the likes of me.

Enter the home version, which sports excellent graphics and sound, and very tight controls, but HELLO! BONUS! It also has a difficulty setting which helps a little and a TURBO setting that helps a lot.

And here's the CLINCHER. The Genesis version of Mercs ALSO has an "Original Mode", which was quite original at the time. Most of the same graphics found in the arcade game but the levels completely re-designed and the ability to pick up extra characters starting in level 2 (I don't think the arcade had this feature at all).

It's GREAT. If you're a fan of the coin-op it would probably rank in your "best ever Genny" list. If not - like myself - it's just a welcome addition and a very well-designed port.

I'd have to agree with Joe on this one (yes, folks, he's actually agreeing with Joe for a change!). It really is a nice translation, and the extra rounds do add to its appeal. However, my brother didn't enjoy it much for some odd reason, which was really surprising considering the fact that he loves military action games. I believe he said something like this about it:

"It's not even a two player game! It's barely a ONE player game!"

If you say so, Frank. :roll:
