I remember finding an old Famicom in my grandma's house when I was a teen, and a cartridge with the cover of Megaman 5 in it. It seems to have been used by my aunt Silvina, since she was a teen around 1992, and my father and my other aunt Gaby (Rest in Piece) are both older than her by eight years and ten respectively.

Here in Argentina it was very difficult to find a US/PAL NES and as such we received the pirate Famicom console in the 80s and 90s, without the controller with the microphone, and me, being a Megaman fan, inserted the cartridge to play the game after a lot of fidgeting around (dusty pin connections, etc)... And it turned out to be another game where the main character had its graphics replaced by Megaman. That's what happens with chinese bootlegs 🤷‍♂️

I completed that game now and it's just a middle of the road NES platformer, nothing more. I never even watched the TV show it was based on, but I can imagine my aunt going back from school and catching it on Canal Trece or Disney Channel when she was younger (as she seems to have been an avid fan of cartoons because my grandmother told me she watched Animaniacs from WB too) and it tingles a bit of a nostalgic vibe in me.

I enjoy playing old Capcom platformers. On the one hand, this game has perfect graphics, music, very beautiful sprites of all objects, but on the other hand...

Either the developers were in a hurry to release this game, or they didn’t test it at all. There are a huge number of errors in the game design, the enemies just have a ton of HP and a fairly short period of dealing damage to them, and instead of moving forward through small levels, of which there are only 7, it was decided to make such a stupid decision to increase the completion time. There are very successful bosses, and there is the last one, which, without one single correct decision at the beginning of the battle, kills you and you cannot do anything about it.

Мне нравится играть в старые платформеры от Capcom. С одной стороны в этой игре идеальная графика, музыкальное оформление, очень красивые спрайты всех объектов, но с другой стороны..

Либо разработчики очень торопились с выпуском данной игры, либо ее не тестировали никак. Огромное количество ошибок в геймдизайне, у врагов просто тонна хп и достаточно маленький промежуток нанесения урона по ним, и вместо того чтобы продвигаться вперед по небольшим уровням, которых всего 7, решено было сделать такое глупое решение для увеличения времени прохождения. Есть очень удачные боссы, а есть последний, который без одного единственного правильного решения в начале боя убивает тебя и ты ничего с этим поделать не можешь.
