About

Obligatory-hyped up-over generalizing-catch-phrase: "Space Mercs takes the fast-action pace of Space War and meshes it with the endless variety and economical factors of Scorched Earth to formulate a one-of-a-kind game available only for Macintosh." The goal of Space Mercs varies depending upon which game set is being used, but usually you are trying to make as much money for your nation as you can. The player that makes the most wins. To make money, your nation has dropped you off into a distant mining zone. You are to scuttle around picking up the ore deposits that appear. After an ore deposit is brought on board, your processing equipment starts refining it. Once complete, the valuable extract is beamed home; your nation cashes in, and rewards you with some credits of your own. The mining zones are located in disputed space, and you will most likely find miners from other nations competing for the same ore. Fitted with weapons, you hope to at least defend yourself if not swipe some ore harvested by others. When your ship is destroyed, your emergency eject device sends you home where you are fitted with another ship. Soon enough, you'll be back to try and redeem yourself. When a zone is cleared out and all ore processed, you return home. If the expedition was good, you should be able to refit your ship in preperation for the next trip... All of these sets were made with the built-in editor. With ease you can alter any aspect of the game: weapon damage, mass, engine power, everything! Also, in the resource fork of your game set, you can store alternate graphics and sounds to give your game set a thematic flare. System Requirements: * 256 colors * 13" monitor or larger (supports 640x480 and will use 832x624 if possible) * 4MB RAM * CPU: not sure about this one yet. 040's should work fine, low end 030's might not. Let me know how it goes, and I might look into some more optimization. http://www.best.com/~rstewart (don't expect much of a page) :)
