In 1987, capcom introduced what

would become the predecessor of

mega man to the public: rockman.

The game met moderate success,and

met increasing popularity with

each passing installment. The

mechanics, while simple, were

easy to grasp and fun to play.

The titular hero mega man has two

basics functions: jumping and

shooting. The game also features

the unique ability to steal the

weapons of each boss, spicing up

the combat. To give an example,

you get the leaf shield from plant

man, the hard knuckle from hard

man....I admit, There is an

undeniable fun to cleaving through

enemies with buzzsaw blades...
