Sure, saying I beat both of those games at age six sounds cool now, but you aren’t thinking like that when you’re a kid, just wishing you could play games that were actually good. So I played them, I struggled and struggled until I could beat both of them consistently. But you know the really sad part? Those were my best computer games. If you haven’t personally experienced the Mega Man DOS games, I assure you that they’re as bad as everyone says. That was my introduction to the series, those abominations from the masters of unspeakable horror at Hi-Tech Expressions. My second was Mega Man III DOS (I count the Tiger Handheld version as “Mega Man II DOS” for the record). Yes, that’s right, my first Mega Man game was the infamous Mega Man DOS. Finding games that could run on it was not an easy task, but I was determined, and even if they were in four color mode, I found some games that would work… You don’t have to look that up, I’ll tell you that it was severely underpowered at the time. The only thing in my house that could play games was a computer my family had gotten from my grandfather. You see, when I was very young, I had an instinctive love of video games, but no game consoles. At the very start of my history with Mega Man, something happened that I’m still surprised didn’t manage to turn me off the entire series.
Now when I said bad times, you probably thought of the time between the 2011 cancellations and “Mega Man Isn’t Dead Day”, but that’s not the only one for me.
In honor of his imminent revival, I’m going to go over my personal history with the franchise, all the good times and the bad times.
#Mega man 2 rom hack to add sliding series
The first video game character to spark my imagination was Mega Man (or his similarly named successor, Mega Man X) and his series has permanently been in my top three favorite game series for over 25 years. I’m not old enough for it to be Pac-Man, young enough for it to be Crash, or cursed enough for it to be Bubsy. It wasn’t Sonic, even if I was loyal to him for a brief period before I gave Mario my allegiance. Contrary to what you may assume, the first video game mascot to capture my heart wasn’t Mario.
