Lord-Chaos Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Does anyone know if "Mercenary" by Novagen is STE - compatible? My copy (original, German) does crash with 3 bombs if you enter an elevator on my 1040 STE. I wonder if this is a compatibility issue or a faulty disk.

ijor Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 If you could post a Pasti image, we might be able to test and check it. The English version seems to run fine under Steem. But I don't know how/where to find and elevator to test that particular problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krupkaj Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) Fly to sector 09-06, there is elevator. Go to the center of the cage and press "E". Edited September 23, 2006 by krupkaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijor Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Thanks for the tip krupkaj. The "original" English standalone release seems to have problems under Steem. So it is likely that is not STe compatible. The compendium release (mercenary+second city bundled in a single disk) seems to run fine under Steem. At least I can take that elevator without any crash. But again, if you could post a Pasti image then we might be more helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that it was just a bug, garbage in memory, because I tested some other games before. Or something else. It looks like that both Mercenary and The Second City work on the STE. Now I have to try the sequeles , Damocles, the Mission Disk and Mercenary III. LC P.S. I wish there was a modern remake of that game. I don't like 3D games that much, but Mercenary was great for its time. They just shouldn't turn it into a shooter. I'd prefer something System Shock -like.
