I remember Megaman. I remember thinking the first one was nigh-impossible. I remember carpet-thumping, controller-throwing frustration. The second was slightly easier, but only in the sense that pushing a bulldozer through a field of jello is “slightly easier” than towing a battleship with a frog kick.
Honestly, I think I got to like the game more and more as the series went along. I loved Mega Man 3, 4, and Capcom’s Magnum Opus, Mega Man 5. According to Wikipedia, there was a Mega Man 6 on the NES, but I was preparing to graduate High School (and everyone had moved on to the Super Nintendo) when it was released.
IN THE GAMES I’ve played and run in the past, there have been a lot of devices that ‘Worked’ – ideas or actions that really made the game or the character special.
