Mercenaire (F) (1986) [a1] - Amstrad CPC - Strategy, Simulation

Defend your futuristic city from giant robots in this shoot-'em-up that owes a huge debt to the classic game Defender. The game features some lovely colourful graphics. Special mention goes to the cityscape in the background and the way your ship spins and explodes when you die. The scrolling is all right but it leaves a bit of a shimmering effect on the background. Fans of Defender-style games will find this one limited in the gameplay department.
