T-MEK
open-in-new
<h2 id="gameplay">Gameplay</h2> <p>Each player can choose their MEK (a hovering <a href="/facts/Tank/CwQLRQsy">tank</a> with special weapons and abilities). One player can play against 6 <a href="/facts/AI/lJGauQwX">AI</a> players and the occasional <a href="/facts/Boss_(video_gaming)/0emjxCls">boss</a>, or two players can play against each other and 4 AI players. There is a special tournament mode where two players can go one on one. Up to three <i>T-MEK</i> cabinets can be linked for six-player competitions. <i>T-MEK</i> featured <a href="/facts/Surround_sound/9FXUKVvs">surround sound</a>, which Time Warner Interactive advertised as "CAGE Audio".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> Each player's station had four speakers; two in front and two behind the player, and a subwoofer mounted directly below the seat. <i>T-MEK</i> has no background music soundtrack, which was a departure for "deluxe" arcade games in the coming-of-age era of digitally sampled audio, and instead relied upon the sound to help aid the player in finding enemies. </p> <h2 id="development">Development</h2> <h2 id="release">Release</h2> <p>In 1995 Time Warner Interactive released an updated version called <i>T-MEK: The Warlords</i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> In addition to the ability to play as a boss MEK by entering his name, the update added a "beginner" difficulty mode, instructional screens on how to play the game, new combos moves and more.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> <i>T-MEK</i> was later ported to <a href="/facts/MS-DOS/fVrrz1uN">MS-DOS</a> and the <a href="/facts/32X/vyVcWIJA">32X</a>; rather than linking multiple systems together, the home versions featured split-screen multiplayer for two players. A conversion for the <a href="/facts/Atari_Jaguar/DCTUzXMu">Atari Jaguar</a> was being developed and planned to be published by Time Warner Interactive, but development on the port was terminated sometime in 1995, with no reason given to the cancellation of this version.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="reception">Reception</h2> ReceptionReview scores<table><tbody><tr><th scope="col">Publication</th><th scope="col">Score</th></tr><tr><td><i><a href="/facts/Computer_and_Video_Games/qvjdugj0">Computer and Video Games</a></i></td><td>(ARC) 70/100<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a></td></tr><tr><td><i><a href="/facts/Electronic_Gaming_Monthly/d5JXGadB">Electronic Gaming Monthly</a></i></td><td>(32X) 6.125/10<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a></td></tr><tr><td><i><a href="/facts/GamePro/3DujtsPu">GamePro</a></i></td><td>(ARC) 20/20<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a>(32X) 11.5/20<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a></td></tr><tr><td><i><a href="/facts/IGN/kNcWSmFY">IGN</a></i></td><td>(32X) 4.0/10<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a></td></tr><tr><td><i><a href="/facts/Next_Generation_(magazine)/Sq7c6zze">Next Generation</a></i></td><td>(ARC) <a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a></td></tr><tr><td><i>The Atari Times</i></td><td>(ARC) 83%<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a>(32X) 60%<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a></td></tr><tr><td><i>Game-Over!</i></td><td>(DOS) 4/10<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a></td></tr><tr><td><i>PC Gameworld</i></td><td>(DOS) 36%<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15"><sup>15</sup></a></td></tr><tr><td>Power Play [de]</td><td>(DOS) 9%<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16"><sup>16</sup></a></td></tr><tr><td><i>Ultimate Gamer</i></td><td>(32X) 5/10<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17"><sup>17</sup></a></td></tr><tr><td><i><a href="/facts/VideoGames_-_The_Ultimate_Gaming_Magazine/WSCAWSSH">VideoGames</a></i></td><td>(32X) 6/10<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18"><sup>18</sup></a></td></tr></tbody></table> <p><i>T-MEK</i> garnered positive reception from critics upon its original arcade release.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19"><sup>19</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20"><sup>20</sup></a> <i>RePlay</i> reported the game to be the second most-popular deluxe arcade game at the time.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21"><sup>21</sup></a> <i><a href="/facts/Play_Meter/j4epJLS1">Play Meter</a></i> also listed the title to be the second most-popular arcade game at the time.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22"><sup>22</sup></a> <i><a href="/facts/Electronic_Gaming_Monthly/d5JXGadB">Electronic Gaming Monthly</a></i> praised the arcade original's visuals and compared it favorably to <a href="/facts/Namco/DA5E3xqv">Namco</a>'s <i><a href="/facts/Cyber_Sled/0NzMspJR">Cyber Sled</a></i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23"><sup>23</sup></a> <i><a href="/facts/GamePro/3DujtsPu">GamePro</a></i>'s The Obliterator gave the arcade version a perfect score, citing easy to learn controls, the excitement added by the surround sound and "rumble seat", and the detailed visuals.

Hendrix said the slowdown and cramped split-screen in the two-player mode ruin the multiplayer experience, which he felt was the main draw of the arcade version, and that "With awful pixelation and weak detail, the graphics don't even pretend to be 32-bit."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30"><sup>30</sup></a> <i>The Atari Times</i>' Darryl Brundage commended the 32X port for being faithful to the arcade original in terms of visuals and praised the addition of new arenas but criticized its controls for being too sensitive.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31"><sup>31</sup></a> <i><a href="/facts/IGN/kNcWSmFY">IGN</a></i>'s Levi Buchanan was overly critical of the 32X port, stating that "the charms of the arcade game, an over-the-top <i>Battlezone</i> update with network play, are nowhere to be found."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32"><sup>32</sup></a> </p><p>The MS-DOS version received negative reviews.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33"><sup>33</sup></a> <i>Games Domain</i>'s Chris McMullen criticized the DOS port for its poor visuals, dodgy audio design, lack of replay value and unoriginality, stating that "I tried to find something good about this game, but there is nothing at all to recommend <i>T-MEK</i>."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34"><sup>34</sup></a> The Marauder of online magazine <i>Game-Over!</i> heavily criticized the DOS port for being a straightforward conversion without new additions, its complicated installation setup and lack of network multiplayer.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35"><sup>35</sup></a> A reviewer of <i>PC Gameworld</i> commended the DOS for its two-player mode and framerate but criticized the visuals for being poor and the limited gameplay, stating that "he promise of a decent 'mech fighter is lost in the reality of this lackluster shooter."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36"><sup>36</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="notes">Notes</h2> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul> <li>1990s portal</li><li>United States portal</li><li>Video games portal</li></ul> <ul><li><a href="https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/arcade/583637-t-mek"><i>T-MEK</i></a> at <a href="/facts/GameFAQs/R6F9Kp7h">GameFAQs</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/t-mek/3030-18557/"><i>T-MEK</i></a> at <a href="/facts/Giant_Bomb/xdoD9WvC">Giant Bomb</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9992"><i>T-MEK</i></a> at <a href="/facts/Killer_List_of_Videogames/Pq8BN7d2">Killer List of Videogames</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/t-mek"><i>T-MEK</i></a> at <a href="/facts/MobyGames/ErGhXfX5">MobyGames</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>"Arcade Action - T-MEK by Atari Games".
