Mercs DescriptionOne to three army mercenaries travel through seven missions to rescue the President of the US. You are armed with unlimited ammo for your gun and a limited supply of bombs to battle army soldiers. Pick up special weapons (flame thrower, special guns, more bombs) on the way. Ride in jeeps, tanks, and boats on the missions. Playtime is based on a lifeline which decreases as you get hit.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationThe cabinet is made by Dynamo and is a pedestal-type design. The control panel and monitor bezel are have an army decor. The left player is blue, the middle player is yellow, and the right player is red.MiscellaneousCOPY OF: Senjou No Ookami IIVAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYCommon - There are 36 known instances of Mercs owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 3 of them are original dedicated machines, 2 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 31 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired. Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price. There is one VAPS member looking for a Mercs circuit board set. For Sale - There are 2 VAPS members with Mercs machines for sale. There is one VAPS member with an extra Mercs circuit board for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TechnicalThe left joystick is wired to player one, the right joystick is wired to player 2 and the middle joystick is wired to the pin connector on the board as player 3. There are jumpers on the board for stereo sound but the dedicated default is one speaker mono. Cabinet has cutout already for the second speaker. An external volume control, service credit, and test mode buttons are installed just inside the coin door. There are three coin slots. Each one activates a unique player.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Mercs Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Capcom.
