The rocky start of an amazing franchise 0
Mega Man went on to become one of my favorite video game franchises of all time, but it wasn't all fine and dandy when it first came out. The first game in the series didn't allow you to save your progress or pick up any type of password. You had to beat the game in just one sittin, and the game was really hard.The idea was set, an action-platformer where you have challenging levels and shoot blasts from your arm. With other robots as bosses, who after you defeat them you get their power, and ea...

Do you smell what the Rock is cooking? 1
So I’m undertaking the questionable but personal challenge of writing the lengthiest, most elaborate reviews possible for the entire Mega Man ennealogy. An “ennealogy” refers to a series of nine, according to random strangers on Yahoo Answers. My motivations for bothering with such a primitive series that makes so few changes from installment to installment? Because each game is short enough to beat in a few hours tops.

A primordial event. 0
This is the very first release for the Mega Man series and the first of the original hexalogy released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)/Famicon. It features many aspects that would later become standard for the Mega Man series, but most of them are still in a very archaic state and would get severely improved in subsequent games.The basic rules are simple, start a stage, fight a hoard of mechanical enemies carrying your unlimited Mega Buster — in this release simply called P &n...
