Mercs is another arcade port that made its way to Genesis thanks to its System-16 similarity. Few people know about Mercs when compared to its far more popular predecessor, Commando. Whereas the original game is a Capcom classic. The Mega Drive version of Mercs was produced exclusively by Sega for the Mega Drive. Not only did the Mega Drive version include an almost arcade-perfect port of the game; it also featured its own mode, adding features into the game such as secret shops and the ability to swap between its four characters - each wielding their own power-ups and weapons. We can only give Mercs a Play Score of 4 stars due to the port's disappointing lack of a multiplayer mode.
