Absolutely Love this game! My friends and I spent an insane amount of quarters on this at our local arcades. I still play it to this day on the Capcom Classics Collection Vol.1 for Playstation.
Oh, SWEET, this is one of my all time favorites! It was ported so well on the Genesis, especially with the "Original" edition, addition. Mercs is the underrated Contra to me. *After watching now, great job as always! Want to mention, the Genesis version has a rapid fire option that makes that version of the game even better.
Yeah, you can set the controller to rapid in the option screen. It does make the game tougher without a torch when playing the arcade ports on PS2 or Xbox having to smash the button. Lol, the little things like that can go a long way sometimes.
Original mode has a lot of unique playable commando, the most memorable ones are the Laser Commando and the Homing Missile Commando, good times, and i think the bosses are different too?
Commando is one of the games of my childhood (amstrad cpc version) but i'd never realize Mercs was a sequeal till a few years ago. Thanks for the video, you speak so clear and slow... Perfect for the non english native like me!!
I'll never forget the first time I saw this game at the arcades, I couldn't get enough of it with my friends. It always stuck with me at how when the mercs get dropped off at the beach by the helicopter, the soldiers get out to secure the area and salute them with that intro music in the background. Definitely a highlight of the arcade era.
Mercs on the Megadrive was and still is my favourite Megadrive game of all time - original mode is tremendous fun. Great video as always Pat, thanks. Happpeee little viewer 😂
That SNES Capcom jingle at the beginning......... Along with the presentation of the best CZcams channel ever.......... Makes me think of lots of positive things!! Especially now that summer's coming to an end!!! YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!
Great video. This brought happy old memories, I used to love Mercs and played this with an old school friend and we pumped so much cash into it. Totally worth it.
Count me in as one of those that didn’t realize it was a sequel to Commando until a few years ago. I played this at the local Sega’s Time Out arcade as a break between Street Fighter and MK. Picked up the Genesis version and played that a ton as a kid. I revisit it every once and a while.
I had it as a 8 year old on sega megadrive and absolutely loved it , I had it all the way upto secondary school and still never got past the train boss part . I bought it again for 99p on the capcom collection as a separate on sale with progear , powered gear and giga wing ,cyberbots and these games would absolutely distroy your bank balance seriously in an arcade. I don't know about coin killer, they would send your money to hell and back and send you the bill!!! .... yeah I finished mercs eventually aged 40
Another great episode as always. I loved Mercs (still do) and threw a ton of quarters in that machine back in the day, and to this day I still suck balls at it. You know it's a good game when you're terrible at it for 30+ years and still play it from time to time.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries GnG is so cruelly difficult (arcade, NES port, doesn't matter) the game designers should be brought up on crimes against humanity 😂
One of my favourite run & guns EVER. I played the arcade version on the Capcom Generations Vol. 4 for the PlayStation 1 and also on the Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 1 for the PlayStation 2.
You gotta do Caliber .50 next, such a weird game. I played the hell out of it over a few years at a local pizza place back in the day until I could almost one credit it.
Capcom in the 90s was unstoppable! One thing that keeps me plugging along through middle age is firing up games like Mercs, UN Squad, Magic Sword and Street Fighter II on weekends with the speakers blaring.
RAD!!! we were lucky snuff to have an Amiga and this was one of my faves, didn't even realise I had the Japanese version for Switch on their Arcade compilation!!! great channel thanks for the vids!
Thanks for the nice words. I like the Amiga version back in the day but something always just seemed a bit off about the scrolling. It was still fun to play though
It never occurred to me that Commando and Bionic Commando were the same series until you mentioned Super Joe and I remembered him being mentioned in Bionic Commando.
I didn't even realize Commando had a true sequel until I found it on the PS2 compilation.. It's basically Contra & Metal Slug but top down.. Good stuff!
The local corner store, a place my parents mostly bought cigarettes, also weirdly had a Mercs cabinet for a short period of time. No other arcade machines, just Mercs in the corner opposite the video rental section. And we're talking corner store size, beyond the rental and magazines it was all just snacks. Sadly it was only there for maybe a handful of months around 90/91 so by the time I was old enough to walk down there on my own it was gone. Didn't get much of a chance to play it until compilations years later.
I used to always pop a few quarters in this one back in the day but could never commit myself to completing it because it was so easy to die. I ended up beating it on the home console and loved the Commando reboot on XBOX Live arcade.
I was expecting you to talk about how you have to assemble a super weapon by collecting all six parts. Turns out that my memory had grown rusty over the decades: I had confused Mercs with Heavy Barrel.
How many arcade games were based on saving a kidnapped person? From the time of Donkey Kong, if not sooner, the easiest video game plot was about killing hundreds due to a single kidnapping. The president, the president's daughter, the mayor's daughter, your karate master's daughter, a princess, your girlfriend, your princess girlfriend, your cow girlfriend, POWs, a secret agent, the guy from a previous video game, Aerosmith...the list goes on. When you've got only a few seconds worth of scenes to get the plot going, kidnapping is the answer.
Played the hell out of this in co-op with buddies at a Ft Bragg satellite PX. Had a lot of fun with it, but it was replaced by Arch Rivals by the time we got back from Desert Storm😔
We like a lot of the same games, and this is no exception, such a great game. Although they should've called it it commando returns to directly tie it in to the first one.
I had Commando for the NES, but i never played the arcade version. I don't recall ever playing Merc. I really like the arcade version of Ikari Warriors. I need to get all these games for PS2
This was one of the games I would always gravitate towards in the arcade when I was a kid. Even if I sucked at it, it was always worth the quarter for the few minutes I could play. Is it just me, or are some of the sound effects you played from the arcade version very reminiscent of some from the GI Joe arcade game?
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Cool, gonna check and see if there's a video of it. I hated that arcade games had bad endings. I always felt if you spent all those quarters to get that far, you shouldn't have to lose just to have to start all over to try again to win. It tok me a second try with Operation Thunderbolt, the sequel to Operation Wolf, but finally figured it out. Also took me a second attempt for the live action first person shooter Target: Terror. I had to look up how to beat that one (shoot the remote detonator instead of the terrorist. You only get one shot).
That super sexy cps1 hardware u showed cost me do much money because i had no idea about the suicide battery issue with it disabling the software forever. I finalized cane across the pheonixing fix and now im one happy man. Hard 220 dollar lesson learned.....over a ten cent battery
Another great video. Did you notice the MERCS logo is in the same style as the word NERDS in the revenge of the nerds movie poster? I'm pretty sure nerds came out in 84 so maybe they got the idea from that.
This game was so good. I traded my friend Growl for this on Genesis. But you could die super quick if you didn't take your time until you know what's coming. I wonder what this game would have played like if it had a twin stick or a rotary joystick like Heavy Barrel.
Capcom had high hopes that MERCS would hold its own against the TMNT arcade game and even nicknamed it the "turtle killer". That probably was a bit too arrogant on their part but it was an awesome game, especially the flamethrower 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍😁😁😁‼️‼️ PS I always thought that the MERC was Guile before he went to join the hand to hand mayhem in Street Fighter 2! I guess you learn something new every day.
I loved Mercs especially on the Series Genesis. I do wish Series/Capcom would have went for a bigger cart. The Sega Genesis and CPS-1 are very, very close in hardware specs. I believe with another 8-megs it could have been so close to the arcades it would have been hard to spot the distance without having both versions side-by-side. Think of Ghouls n' Ghosts and Strider (especially Strider) for what could have read been achieved.
Never played MERCS, but I think I'll MAME it one of these days. Hey Patman, what about doing an episode on Pang!, Super Pang!, Pang! 3 and Mighty! Pang? (kind of a weird placement for the exclamation point...) Anyway, I think the games were called Buster Brothers, Super Buster Brothers and Buster Buddies in the States. I don't know about Mighty! Pang in the states because I only recently discovered it on MAME, but I think it is honestly the best in the series, followed by Pang! 3. When I was stationed in Louisiana in the late 90s, the PX near my barracks had Pang!3 so I got quite good at it.
Loved to play on the arcades when i was Younger, but the game for me did not stand the test of time because of only One simple thing: controls. Actually i ONLY tolerate controls like shoock troopers or twin stick on this kind if games. My only exception is the Simple single shot in the game outzone were struggling with the controls in tight corridors is part of the fun. Great videos. Best regards.
Absolutely Love this game! My friends and I spent an insane amount of quarters on this at our local arcades. I still play it to this day on the Capcom Classics Collection Vol.1 for Playstation.
Excellent, I always enjoyed it
We had it at a collectables store I worked at, played it so much I get beat it with like 2 quarters
Loved playing the Genesis version and the arcade version of Capcom Arcade Collection.
The Genesis version was really good
Oh, SWEET, this is one of my all time favorites! It was ported so well on the Genesis, especially with the "Original" edition, addition. Mercs is the underrated Contra to me. *After watching now, great job as always! Want to mention, the Genesis version has a rapid fire option that makes that version of the game even better.
there was a commando 3?
how I miss that?
@@nemopouncey3827 Probably because it's ugly as shit.
I wasn't aware of the rapidfire. I agree though, they did a really good job on this conversion. Thanks

I loved this game so much. Great memories
Yes sir I always enjoyed it
Mercs was so awesome when it came out in Arcades, played the hell out of it and Final Fight!
You and me both my friend. I loved final fight
That Mercs remake looks pretty great. I never knew about it until this video. I think I will give it a try.

I've been watching all your videos - top notch, sir! I particularly like when you show off all the different home computer/console versions!

One of my favourite run & guns EVER. I played the arcade version on the Capcom Generations Vol. 4 for the PlayStation 1 and also on the Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 1 for the PlayStation 2.
I loved mercs back in the day. The Sega version was awesome too.
Absolutely
WOW! How have never seen or heard of this game?! This is right up my alley. Great work, Pat! Thanks!
Absolutely, hope you enjoyed it

How have I never heard of this game?!? The arcade game still looks fun in 2022!
My friends and I playing at the Huskie Den. Bowling and Mercs. Good times… sadly only 3 of the 5 of us left from those days.
great video for a great game. Mecs Genesis is a "love at the first sight" in 2024... as a Commando lover (Amiga and Arcade) ❤
Capcom in the 90s was unstoppable! One thing that keeps me plugging along through middle age is firing up games like Mercs, UN Squad, Magic Sword and Street Fighter II on weekends with the speakers blaring.
Absolutely, their music is fantastic
MERCS 🙌🏻 Freak yeah 😎 I had it on the Genesis and it was one of my favorite games, that first level music is still playing inside my head 🙌🏻
Absolutely, it was really good
Always good to see a new upload!
Thanks, hope you enjoyed it
The best retro gaming Channel, you will find the amazing history of the games,arcade,console and more 👍🎮👍
Thanks a lot my friend that is high praise indeed
I saw this game at my local arcade and thought it looked way cool. I was happy to see it was on my PS2 Capcom Collection. Thanks Patman
Absolutely, thanks for watching
Oh man I'm all excited... I'm gonna play the shit out of this tonight!!
This game is on Nintendo Switch and Xbox and Playstation under Capcom arcade stadium
Another funny and truly immersive video. Wonderful job.
Thank you very much!
Always happy to see a new video, keep up the great work.

Yes, everyone who was old enough knew this was a Commando sequel. We weren’t idiots, it plays just like Commando.
It never occurred to me that Commando and Bionic Commando were the same series until you mentioned Super Joe and I remembered him being mentioned in Bionic Commando.
Hmmm I still play Mercs up too this day is one of my favorite arcade game next to Rastan 👾🎮👾👊🏽

Broke my heart that the genesis version wasn't multi-player. I loved that game
YesIt definitely should have been
I used to always pop a few quarters in this one back in the day but could never commit myself to completing it because it was so easy to die. I ended up beating it on the home console and loved the Commando reboot on XBOX Live arcade.
It was pretty difficult especially when using real quarters :-)

Glad you like them!Thanks
Thank you. Love your videos. ♥️
Thanks Pacmanqc great work Sir

LOL, that would make for some research project that's for sure
...and it's always taking place in the year "199X" 😀
glad I was able to pick up "Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3" on the PS3 PSN years ago, these games are fun
That was really good, hopefully it will get re-released at some point
Wow! Slipped under my radar. I never knew this game existed.
Thanks for the video. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this game. Great review

Wild, I never knew this was Commando 2. I'd always thought of Bionic Commando as the sequel, and maybe this one as the third.
It fits in there somewhere :-)
Top vid as always
The faster you blow the faster you go!🤣🤣🤣🤣 You slay me! You've got the best dad jokes out there!

MERCS was a great game for the SEGA Genesis, which had both the arcade & original modes.
Yes it was

this was a pretty fun game.
beated it on the compilation.
Excellent
I liked the arcade the couple of times i played it back in the day. Didn't have a chance often
It was pretty popular around here
I adored this game. Arcade and megadrive.
You and me both
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
I had Commando for the NES, but i never played the arcade version. I don't recall ever playing Merc. I really like the arcade version of Ikari Warriors. I need to get all these games for PS2

Different company so not very likely
Shock Troopers looks like it lifted a lot of its ideas from Mercs. I'll have to give Mercs a try eventually on Launchbox.
Cool, one of my all-time favorite arcade games. Didn't know there was a potential bad ending if you took too long on the final boss.
Yes sir

It wouldn't be a PatmanQC video if I did mispronounce Something. Thanks For the info
Another great history outline on a game. My suggestion: do a video on a notoriously bad game with the intro "Crappy little games". 😆
I don't recall ever getting to join in on a three player assault but I'm sure it would've been awesome.
It was a lot of fun
I'd love to see this get an HD remake, or even just 16:9 with online multiplayer.
Never saw this one in the arcades. Seems like a decent game.
I didn’t even about the SQL game thanks bro.
That super sexy cps1 hardware u showed cost me do much money because i had no idea about the suicide battery issue with it disabling the software forever. I finalized cane across the pheonixing fix and now im one happy man. Hard 220 dollar lesson learned.....over a ten cent battery

the soundtrack waz bangin.

I was never much of a fan of Commando (I sucked at it), but I absolutely loved Mercs.
Thanks
Thanks a ton for your donation, I really appreciate it

Oh, good call on the revenge of the nerds logo LOL thank you
These contra like games remind me of the Salamander/Life Force Games.
Also the Imari warrior games , Heavy Barrel.
Absolutely, all of the above
Insanely Retro Good fun!
Thanks a lot!
Just to add, Commando, MERCS, & Bionic Commando are all the same series 😎.
This game was so good. I traded my friend Growl for this on Genesis.
But you could die super quick if you didn't take your time until you know what's coming. I wonder what this game would have played like if it had a twin stick or a rotary joystick like Heavy Barrel.
Commando three works really good with twin stickS I just wish there is some way they could hack it to make it so :-)
Capcom had high hopes that MERCS would hold its own against the TMNT arcade game and even nicknamed it the "turtle killer". That probably was a bit too arrogant on their part but it was an awesome game, especially the flamethrower 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍😁😁😁‼️‼️

The problem comes with the lower resolution and colors on the Genesis but yes a bigger cartridge could have helped
