Is it still worth playing?

Capcom's 1988 platformer for the Famicom, released on the NES in North America in 1989. Mega Man continues his battle against the evil Dr. Wily and his rogue Robot Masters. You face eight Robot Masters in any order. Each gives you a weapon when beaten and is weak to certain others' weapons, so the order you choose matters. Items earned after certain stages create platforms that reach otherwise inaccessible areas, E Tanks refill health at any time, and five fortress stages follow the eight. Progress is saved with a password after each Robot Master, with no score counter. The Western releases added a Normal setting that makes the buster and weapons stronger, beside Difficult. An open stage order with weapon weaknesses lets you pick your own route, and the difficulty setting suits newcomers and veterans alike, which is why it is worth playing now.
