MetalMercs - Reviving The Cresent Hawk's Legacy (Eyes Out)
MetalMercs is a love-letter to the classic Battletech games: Cresent Hawk's Inception and Cresent Hawk's Revenge. This one was sent to me by Jay, who is now finding his game is the newest guinea pig for short segments on my channel concerning games I'm sent by viewers and sometimes offered. Thanks Jay!

I'm also one of the bad guys in black @7:25 which I totally forgot about until now! haha This was my second game at Looking Glass and it was so much fun. At the time, most computers could not decode MPEG compression, so we used an 8-bit video compressor known as "Smacker," which is why the movies are so pixely. I always thought this game RULED and glad to see people still enjoying it! Thanks for posting!

    Just discovered your channel! I ABSOLUTELY love mechs, mech videogames, and giant robots in general. If you like tabletop games, I even co-design (well I do the miniatures) a game with my biz partner! (called ignition core). In any case, Can I suggest some games? If you want the BEST of times, Please try HARDCORE MECHA it feels like one of the BEST mech games I've ever played. Secondly, did you ever play Ironblood on the MS-Dos?

I'm gearing up for some collabs and that this year, so it should be interesting! I just checked out Ignition Core. Very nice sets! I hope I'm seeing the right thing! Hardcore Mecha is definitely on my radar! I have Ironblood, believe it or not. You'd have to be the first person ever to suggest it!

    Huh, I owned this as a kid, but my Mom got the copy from Funcoland so it was used. No box art, and a sticker covered the.... cover art on the actual cartridge, so I never saw that art. I just always knew it as a mech game. I guess I understand your missing it as a mech game now that you showed it off. Y'know, I sort of enjoyed it; it was a very late NES get for me, so even as a kid I knew it was simplistic..... but I liked punching things as a robot dinosaur, what can I say? Kung-Fu was successful and that is literally just punching and kicking, so... this simplistic formula could entertain kids back in the day, somehow. If just for a very short window of a year or two before games got much more advanced, interesting, ambitious and/or polished. Still, it has a character named Dr. Brainius.

      Well, TMNT, Star Tropics, Twin Cobra, Dr. Mario, Super Mario 3, etc were released in the same year.

    I remember playing this when it came out. Regarding the graphics, I think there was more to it than just 2D sprites. I remember that your squasmates' limbs for example all were independently articulated. It also had some kind of complex weather system and attention to detail - during a rainy mission, you could count the seconds between flash and thunder to estimate the distance to a thunderstorm.

    • @KeiNova
      @KeiNova 9 днів тому

      That might have been so, it wasn't really easy to tell because the graphics were so crunchy. The weather was really just whatever was scripted during a mission and none of them were really long enough to enjoy that feature, if it was there. So, I suppose I just didn't notice. I think there were 3 missions where it actually rained and two of them had lightning! Still, it would have been awesome if not released much earlier.

    I am so glad you covered this game; it deserves the signal boost.

      It really does. It really makes me want to get the Cresent Hawk games running again.

    There was a novel tie-in for Terra Nova that was written by David Drake - it wasn't great.

      I heard about that; I couldn't find it though. Was it really that painful?

      @@KeiNova take this all with a grain of salt as I read it 20+ yrs ago, but that said, Drake is a master at writing military settings, but his characters tend to be clunky and a bit formulaic. So while the book provided some good background on the Alpha Centauri clans and their conflicts with the Hegemony, the characters were kinda terrible.
