About T-Mek

T-Mek is essentially an updated Battlezone. You are a warrior battling in the T-MEK competition, a hugely popular event in the future. You control a hovercraft and try to blow up everyone else. The action is viewed from your perspective as you travel around the arena. You also have an overall view of where your opponents are. Terrain surfaces and characteristics vary in each battle. In most levels you need to reach a certain score to progress, however there are out-and-out one-off Deathmatch duels to deal with periodically.

Sega 32X prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A faithful-looking 32X port of Atari Games' hover-tank arcade shooter that lost much of the arcade's excitement.

This is the 32X version of T-MEK, which began as an Atari Games arcade game. Sega published the 32X cartridge, developed by Bits Corporation, and it came out in North America in 1995 and in Europe in October 1995. Where the arcade game linked cabinets, the home version offers split-screen for two players.

Reception was mixed. Electronic Gaming Monthly's reviewers said the arcade game's excitement and intensity were lost in translation. GamePro was harsher, saying that slowdown and a cramped split-screen ruin the two-player mode and that the graphics do not look like a 32-bit game.

How it was made

Bits Corporation developed the 32X conversion for Sega, from the Atari Games arcade original.

What the press said at the time

“This cart wont satisfy 32X owners desperate for quality gaming. Some action junkies might find short-term thrills, but this cart lacks long-term intensity and depth.”
— GamePro, February 1996

Before you buy

Among US 32X games this is one of the pricier carts, and the European cart usually costs far more still, especially complete. That is enough money to check carefully, so ask for a photo of the label and the board, and buy from a seller who takes returns.
