Mercs or Shock Troopers?

[LoneSage]

Which do you prefer

This is the Capcom vs SNK discussion

1990 vs 1996 (saurus)

Unfair

I love Mercs though.

 

[madman]

I'd have to say Mary Ann.

 

[Bill Kilgore]

1990 vs 1997 (saurus)

Totally unfair

Fixed!

 

[LoneSage]

1990 vs 1996 (saurus)

Unfair

I love Mercs though.

Mate, some people don't like drum 'n bass.

 

[Gamefan]

Mercs.

 

[Westcb]

3 player > 2 player so mercs, plus the screen is oriented better on mercs for that style of gameplay it seems.

 

[Neodogg]

Gunsmoke

 

[oliverclaude]

Mercs.

 

[wyndcrosser]

I never knew the similarities until I started using MAME. MERCs is a great game.

 

[LoneSage]

Well without Mercs there wouldn't be a ST, donchayaknow

LOL, that's exactly what I told myself.

 

[WoodyXP]

Who Dares Wins.

 

[oliverclaude]

What happened to the poll?! I prefer Commando to Mercs for God's sake, it's Fujiwara... F U J I W A R A ! ! ! This is worse than W's election in Florida, where is my vote Lone, what have you done? Do you have the faintest idea how I feel right now??!

Spoiler:

Yeah.. I hear you say:

it's a step up

 

[LoneSage]

hell i can't even remember if i wrote that or if i just got funster'd

 

[oliverclaude]

hell i can't even remember if i wrote that or...

Now you're funstering yourself, it was glatt kosher the first time 'round. Some muddy things going on .

 

[SNK416]

Mercs arcade, I even like the genny version

 

[andsuchisdeath]

I even like the genny version

Original mode is great.

 

[Cg591]

Shocktroopers easy.
Sometimes I like it better than Metal Slug...

 

[Jeneki]

Mercs has always been cool. Great fun in the oldschool "never ending tide of badguys" way.

I do like strafing in Shock Troopers though, which is the main reason I wouldn't directly compare them (that and more structured enemy attack waves).

Also,

Gunsmoke

Hell yeah!

Capcom wasn't the first to make a military rotary style game. I'm just sayin.

 

[NGCDFreak]

Shock Troopers 2 I guess, never played Mercs so I'm not sure.

 

[Zhar Johnson]

Depends on my mood. Their Great!

 

[Pasky]

I like Shocktroopers but Mercs just has a better play style for me.

Ugh.

Not a frosted flakes poll.
