fan of the original NES? fan of Mega Man?
GameSpot has written a little feature called "The History of Mega Man"
you can read it HERE. (removed)
i use to like the Mega Man games... well, starting with the second at least. when i first played the first one, i didnt really "get it" (it was a rental, and i found most stages too hard to get through, and never got to practice much before returning it). when the second one came out, a friend got it, and me and him put a lot of play time into it. he then got the first one, and we put a lot of play time into that. i rented the third, he bought the 4th, rented the 5th, etc, etc. we started playing the "X" series on the SNES and PSX after that.
