Fight, Mega Man! For everlasting peace!
Here, Capcom sets the table for one of the most beloved franchises in gaming history. The ingredients are all here, but it's hard not to think of the original Mega Man as anything more than a first draft. This game is eye-wateringly difficult and filled with irritating game design (I KNOW you didn't grab the Magnet Beam on your first clear of Elec Man's stage). Even the music is pretty weak. I doubt there's a single Mega Man fan on Earth that thinks this is the best one, but it's an important game nonetheless.
