Mercenary II: The Second City

The much talked about Second City is here! Yes folks, Mercenary II is about to hit your screen.

The Second City, or SC, as it will be referred to from now, is a new dataset, for Mercenary I. Needless to say, you can't play Second City if you haven't got Mercenary.

Now on the packaging accompanying this new disk, which has the same artwork on the front-only in red, it tells you that Second City has a new degree of complexity, new buildings, and no clues at all records have been destroyed.

Well, this may be so but I decided that no challenge was too bid and fired up my dominion dart, in search of stardom, riches and a job. Your pocket computer, Benson, tells you about various messages you receive, I read in the instructions, and sure enough up popped the message "Job Offer".

But it seems to me that all the same stuff is still in Second City, only a bit harder. The graphics in the game are white and red, just like the packaging, which is exactly the same as the old one.

If you are interested in buying this one, check it out carefully before buying as it all seemed the same to me.
