the shaky pilot episode of a long running saturday morning cartoon of a game series.

i love Mega Man. i don't love Mega Man (1987). it puts down the foundations of what a Mega Man game should be, but little else. they pretty much nailed how Mega Man moves, but they missed the mark on the locations he should move around. I'm sure the beginning of Guts Man's stage is what everyone goes to first when they gripe about this game, but Ice Man and Elec Man also have terrible levels. That's almost half the game, man. But hey, listen. The Magnet Beam ability is a really neat thing that showed off they could pull off some cool stuff. I just wish they did it more.

I've beaten Mega Man three times, and i used the Pause Glitch for each one of them. I cannot respect this jank game enough to play fair. i'm sorry. I recommend it to only the most avid Mega Man fans (or just video game enthusiasts), who want to play it from an academic point of view.
