About

Mech is a homebrew 'shooter' game for all Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 compatible systems. Works nicely in Stella too! Developed by me, James Bernard Roth. The game is free for personal usage. Please enjoy and leave some feedback if you do 

 

Story

"The year is 2677.

Mankind is at war with machine intelligence that has overrun entire continents, turning once-great countries into human graveyards filled with toxic industries that spew out war machines sent forth to conquer what remains of a free Earth.

The human resistance is not defeated.

You pilot the latest weapon in mankind's fight for survival: the Mechanised Infantry Assault Frame, or more commonly known as the Mech.

Your mission is to enter machine-held territory. Keep your ion shield active and your frame integrity intact. If the shield goes down, avoid further hits until it can reinitialise. Total loss of frame integrity will mean your death. There will be no recovery effort.

Let your GPS autowalk carry you forward or optionally push the pace by moving manually. Destroy all enemy Machine Mechs you encounter, as well as Machine Drones and Tanks. If you come across enemy factory installations or radar scanning systems, take them out immediately!

Expect resistance to intensify as you progress through the mission.

Don't delay. Keep moving forward and take the fight to the Machine.

Let's see if we can't do some real, lasting damage!"
