Is it still worth playing?
Two worlds alternate in this 2001 tactical role playing game, a launch title for the Game Boy Advance. You play Lan Hikari in the outside world and MegaMan.EXE inside the Net, and each environment has tasks that open progress in the other. Lan travels the world map, talks to characters, checks email, buys items and starts Net missions, or speaks with MegaMan.EXE through his PET. Fighting happens only against computer viruses in the Net, along branching pathways and nodes, and battles come as random encounters on a battlefield made up of 18 tiles. Its fights hide inside a network, and that idea is still what gives the game an identity of its own.
