Official description

Terrorists have their job and you've got yours: CRUSH 'EM ALL! They've kidnapped a former President, and the MERCS are going in for the rescue.

Punch through their coastal defenses, snatch enemy weapons and gain firepower. Pick up machine guns, bazookas and heavy artillery as you advance through the smoke of burning metal. Power up a flamethrower, and good-bye, Charlie!

Push through a non-stop barrage of lead, grenades, heatseeking missiles and attack choppers. Hijack tanks and gunboats. Shred 'em with your own weapons. They messed with your country - now you're gonna make 'em scream!

Comment

Mercs was a great Top-View Contra Style shooter in the arcades. The Mega Drive Port rocked too...

Well, and here comes the Master System Variant, and this may do everything, but I definetly doesn't rock.

Just when you see the Intro Screen you wanna commit suicide. But it get's worse, you really ask yourself what happend to the graphics, the animations... well, anything that made the game cool in the arcades.

There isn't much too say about this, it's a cheap port with altered levels and difficulty and has not a even a tiny pixel in common with the Original.

Stay away from it !!!
