Mercenary: Escape From Targ

[+CyranoJ]

Another one without source, so yet more binary haxx0ringz...

 

So far about 2 hours of work put in.... At least this one will work on the DPAD

 

[+Sauron]

See, folks, this is why Rebooteroids isn't out yet.

CJ is trapped on Targ?

[+CyranoJ]

Not trapped any more now input is emulated!

 

up/down/left/right - mapped to joystick

 

A = T(ake)

B = FIRE!

C = D(rop)

 

0 - speed = 0

1-5 - speed (10% -> 100%)

6 = Y(es)

7 = B(oard craft)

8 = E(nter) Elevator

9 = L(eave craft)

 

Have at it, internal testing team!

This is really great, played Mercenary III a lot on my Mega STE when I got it last year. When does this come to Jag? MOAR polygons on the jag ^^.

 

Really great work, looking forward to it!

Are we going to see all the Mercenary's games?

Until we get permission from Novagen, you're not going to see any

Good luck with that!

[+CyranoJ]

The novagen guys are pretty cool with the MDD emulator, so you never know.

Pretty cool! I love this on the Atari 8bit I guess we can finally play this at decent speed

The 48K low-res version for the 8-bit was quite speedy, good frame rate. and with vector-line graphics it hardly makes a difference in "looks." I never saw an advantage myself, to the ST version or the slow high-res 64k 8-bit version, over the low-res 800 version(it's like choosing thick or thin vector lines on Tempest 2000). It's cool for the Jag though, I'd like to try it on a console. But...still nothing wrong with the humble 800 version, IMHO. Definately great for Jag owners without an 800/XL/XE or ST or any other version of Mercenary.

Another one that got a nitrous boost from SCPCDs new code:

 

This one is quite playable, apart from not being able to enter hangers (which means you can't finish it - but I am working on this)

 

A - take

B - fire

C - drop

 

0-5 set speed when in craft

 

6 - Y

7 - B

8 - E

9 - L

 

Mercenary.ABS

I remember this game! Does it have the commodore and fuji symbols you can shoot?

Yup.

[ls650]

Oh wow - I remember playing this back in my uni days on an 800XL. Secret 12939...

It's been a great day for the Jag! Mercenary looks challenging, will have to lookup the manual.

[walter_J64bit]

Does this run on real hardware?

Be a bit pointless if it didn't

[walter_J64bit]

Ok Ive have forgot how use .ABS files with the skunbard .

jcp mercenary.abs

 

no "-f" as you are not flashing a ROM, just firing data into jag's ram.

[walter_J64bit]

Ok thanks! The game is running now!
