Mega Man

[SavageHenry]

So being a Playstation fanboy I got Mega Man 9 and 10 for free as a Playstation Plus subscriber. They were some of the hardest games I've ever played and were the first Mega Man games I've played in at least a decade, and the first I've ever completed. I love the idea of this series though, being able to select what level/boss you want to challenge and taking the bosses' powers.w

I'd love to continue the series, but the PS Store only has Japanese imports on it. This isn't necessarily a deal breaker since there's not much text you need to read on there and I can read some Japanese if needed, but does anyone know where to find some emulated versions of these games? I'd greatly appreciate any help!

Google playnes or nesplay, is java web-based emulator, should find all of em ranging from 1-6 there (7 was on snes, 8 on psx1). Downloading actual emulator always has the downside that you get access to save states and usually end up taking the easy way out spamming those!

Megaman 2 and 3 my favorite NES games - such great music!

Proper platform games for the hardcore, love the series... never touched the PS2 ones, seemed weird seeing them available on a non Nintendo platform :p

Megaman Zero games are equally difficult if not harder, I think I had Megaman Zero 2 on the GBA and loved it... so difficult but enjoyable :) If anyone missed out on those I'd recommend taking a look ;)

When I was a little boy I lied and told my friend I owned an NES just so I could borrow his copy of Megaman and gawk at the box art and the instruction manual.

It feels good getting that off my chest.

If you really like the megaman 2 music, check out bit brigade on YouTube. This band plays the full soundtrack to somebody doing a speed run. Bad ass!

Liked Megaman3 soundtrack heaps more, the game itself is heaps worse than 2 though.

[Funkutron5000]

Megaman 2 is among the easiest games ever made. I absolutely love the game, though. Nothing like running through it in under an hour without using the teleport exploits and shit.

[Macarena]

one of the only handful of beatable games for NES, yes, but still harder then any game thats come out since the PS2 was released (consoles)

[SavageHenry]

That's a great site Brut...thanks! It keeps saving my Java isn't updated even though I installed the latest, but it doesn't seem to matter. Excited to get to the 2nd one based on the positive comments about it here. Remember seeing this video and can't wait to try AIRMAN! His reputation precedes him:

I didn't read anything you said here... I just wanted to say:


And you know what that means?!

Easy game? Only a game genier would say that. Great memories/music.

Mega Man 2 is one of the best games ever made, on any system. The music alone is second to none.

Mega Man 2, Double Dragon I + II, Contra, and Final Fantasy are all you really need in my opinion. Others are good too... but I found myself going back and playing those 5 over and over.

[SavageHenry]

1st Mega Man down! Didn't want to use any exploits so a couple of the bosses were a bit tough, but the levels themselves not so much compared to 9. I am a bit ashamed I got killed by Cut Man once or twice, especially given his ineptitude in the cartoon.

Oh wtf vids won't show. Is there more to embedding youtube than just copying and pasting the code?

EDIT: Nevermind now they're showing. Weird.

That's gotta be hellish to play on an iphone.

X3 > X1.
Just cuz you can dash since intro level. X1 feels like it doesn't even start proper until you're at the foot chip pod!

I remember when i played this when i was young I died over and over @ this fight and had to do whole lvl again (well atleast the checkpoint) but still sucked because id keep dieing there over and over... I remember u gotta take your time and not get too excited until it starts speeding up lol :) Best music in the game on that boss lvl 1 though
