Is it still worth playing?

Mega Man helps his creator, Doctor Light, and a supposedly former enemy, Doctor Wily, to collect parts for a peace keeping robot by beating Robot Masters who have gone haywire. It is a 1990 platformer for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Eight stages can be chosen, and each ends with a Robot Master boss: Magnet Man, Hard Man, Top Man, Shadow Man, Spark Man, Snake Man, Gemini Man or Needle Man. Each has a unique weapon that Mega Man takes on defeat, and is weak to the weapons of certain others, so clearing some stages before others eases the fights. Pickups include life energy, special weapon ammunition, extra lives and E-Tanks, stored to refill life energy completely. Mega Man can also slide. The order of stages is yours to choose, which is still a reason to keep returning.
