Mega Man 1995

Is it still worth playing?

The scientist Wily and his Robot Masters face Mega Man in this 1995 platformer for the Game Gear, which was released only in North America. Its stages and bosses come from Mega Man 4 and 5, with a little from Mega Man 2. You start with four Robot Masters, Bright Man, Star Man, Napalm Man and Stone Man. Dr. Cossack's fortress holds the Wave Man and Toad Man stages, and Wily's fortress is Quick Man's stage without a Robot Master fight, followed by the Wily fight from Mega Man 5. Rush appears with the Rush Coil to help Mega Man jump higher. Eddie and Beat are absent, Mega Man can only shoot two pellets at once, and there are no continues. The layouts match the NES games, but the smaller screen means extra scrolling and blind jumps. Its mix of stages and Robot Masters from the NES games still makes a Mega Man game to try on the Game Gear today.
