The one that put my man Mega Man on the map, and for good reason.

Snappy controls, fun levels, and catchy music. That's all a Mega Man game needs and lord have mercy does Mega Man 2 have it. For a brief time in my life i would play Mega Man 2 all the way through to completion on New Year's Eve before the party would start, just so i ended the year on a high note, video game-wise.

the only thing about this game that i'm not crazy about is the weaknesses of the main bosses being all over the place, and one of the end game bosses requiring perfect play and soft locking you if you make a mistake. just don't make a mistake and the game's pretty good i guess.

I have beaten Mega Man 2 dozens of times and enjoyed it every time. The latest time i played was a little clunky, but i'm a little rusty. and yet despite that, i still had fun. Anyone who likes video games should probably do themselves a favor and check this bit of video game history out.

Long Live The Metal Blade
