Is it still worth playing?

A new Mega Man Killer called Punk joins the evil scientist Wily against Mega Man, in this 1992 platformer for the Game Boy that combines elements of the NES games Mega Man 3 and Mega Man 4. The first four Robot Masters are Snake Man, Gemini Man, Shadow Man and Spark Man, and the second four, Dust Man, Skull Man, Dive Man and Drill Man, get full stages. Dust Man's stage has a crusher room, and Dive Man's is a gauntlet of spikes. Punk is quick and hits hard, and beating him gives the Screw Crusher. The Gemini Laser now fires without slowing the action. In the US manual, Wily draws energy from the Earth's core with a converted oil platform at sea. E-Tanks and Restore Points help with the harder stretches. Two sets of four Robot Masters and E-Tanks to help with the hard parts still make a compact Mega Man game.
