Mega Man 1
"It's Mega Man versus the powerful leaders and fighting forces of Monsteropolis - that strange multi-faceted land of robot-like Humanoids.
Brilliant scientist Dr.Wright conceived the construction of fully-operational human-like experimental robots to perform specific everyday duties.
Dr.Wright, and his assistant Dr.Wily, encouraged with their very first near-human robot - Mega Man - proceeded to develop six additional Humanoids,
all programmed to perform prescribed rituals. But, with the exception of Mega Man, all of Dr.Wright's near-human robot experimentation went awry.
Assistant Dr.Wily turned disloyal, re-programming Dr.Wright's Humanoids, now bent on destroying opposition so Dr.Wily could control the world and its resources.
Resisting re-programming, Mega Man is chosen the defender of the universe and its inhabitants. Mega Man dares to single-handedly penetrate seven separate empires
of Monsteropolis, eliminating the leaders and followers of these sovereignties." story from the Instruction booklet
This is the first Mega Man I ever saw. The design is pretty simple, there is no intro, but the gameplay is great
(some sections are pretty hard, not because of the enemies but because of the timed-jumps you must execute). The game is not too hard, and you can beat it in some hours
(but there are no passwords - for those using the NESticle emulator, I have some saved games available, see below).

Tips'n'tricks
- Because of the weapons needed to kill each of the robots, I would recommend playing the levels in the following order :
1) Cutman, 2) Elecman, 3) Iceman, 4) Fireman, 5) Bombman, 6) Gutsman.
- When you play Elecman's level, make sure to pick up the "Mega Man Tool" (you will need Gutman's weapon, which can mean you might have to go through Elecman's level twice)
- Shoot at en enemy with Elecman's weapon, pause the game as soon as he gets hits, then unpause et repause the game fast many times: enemy gets hit again and again

Dr.Wily's Level |
Saved games
(for use with NESticle)
Wily's Level Start
Yellow Robot
Battle vs the 4 robots
Wily
End
To use a saved game rename it to ROM-name.stX, where X is 1,2...,9.
Ex: d/l 'Megaman1cyr.st2' and rename it to 'Megaman1.st2' (if your ROM is named "Megaman", rename the saved game to 'Megaman.st2')
|
|
Yellow Robot
The robot splits in several "cubes" and these cubes move across the screen, rebuilding the robot on the other side. Once the robot is "built" he opens his eye and shoots at you,
you must hit him in the eye.
|
|
Cutman & Elecman
At one point you'll fall through the floor and reach this room, where you have to beat Cutman and Elecman.
|
|
Duplication
Pretty cool, you get "duplicated" and have to fight against another MegaMan (he does use the same weapons as you do).
|
|
Bubbles
You must destroy 7 (6 ?) bubbles, you can destroy them using your standard weapon or with Gutmans weapon
(you only have 4 blocks, I would destroy the 2-3 first bubbles "by hand" and only use the blocks for the 4 last bubbles, which move faster)
|
|
Bombman, Iceman, Fireman & Gutsman
Tough job here, you must re-kill all robots (except Elecman and Cutman, you already re-killed them, remember ? ;-)
|
|
Wily !
Wily is here, he has installed his UFO on some kind of robot.
- use Fireman's weapon to destroy his protection
- now use Cutman's weapon to destroy the robot
- Wily surrenders :-)
