Versions of the games


Mercenary games have been released on so many computers, in so many versions, with data disks, on tapes, in different languages, several editors, then re-released, re-re-released, that it seems almost impossible to list them all. Impossible? Well, let's try! This page is a test, a work in progress. Only EDOS editor versions are more or less complete for now, the rest is rather randomly filled (so some cells values are wrong). I've detailed at the maxiumum what could be find in the boxes, the comments column is there to describe specific releases (budget, stickers, inside a compilation...). Maybe this could be splitted by editor later, for better reading...
If you own, or have serious and complete information about the existence (or not) of a listed (or missing) version, please mail me!
