While Tricia Thunder fights his way aboard Mecha-8, Ryan
Rock does same inside Mecha-9, but things look way more complicated for
him!
After the success of Mecha-8
I feel like it had enough material to continue the game and in a serendipity,
Luc Miron from Team Pixelboy told me he had space to publish one extra
Colecovision game. So why not Mecha-9?
Isn't a sequel nor a prequel, Mecha-9 story happens at same
time of Mecha-8 ;)
I worked this game since March 2015 till October 2015 and
I'm pretty satisfied with the result. Currently the game is finished.
Some features are:
Mecha-9 has aboard the strange Time Slip.
Screen filled with enemy bullets.
Six levels of intense action.
Six bosses with the sole objective of making cosmic debris from Mecha-9.
Intensely detailed graphics.
A deluxe music background.
256K cartridge for Colecovision or 128K for MSX.
Here is a video of the game in action:
Japanese translation
Mecha 9 for MSX is available with Japanese language
integrated in game. This traslation was made by B. Shigeru
@gcshigeru and PSS K.
Mecha 9 was available in the 48th MSX user's meeting in Barcelona, Spain in December 5, 2015,
all copies sold out in 30 minutes, and you used to get Mecha 9 thru Matra boutique, but now you can download freely the Mecha-9 MSX commercial version (released Aug/29/2021).
For Colecovision it was available since February 22, 2016 through Team Pixelboy and now the ROM is freely available for download.
It has got extremely good opinions from players "hardware
pushed to the limits!", "looks even better than Mecha-8!", "I've enjoyed
inmensely the Mecha series!", "the most polished homebrew game I've
seen".
