Is it still worth playing?

Capcom's 1993 platformer for the Super NES, the first Mega Man on 16 bit and the first of the X series. You face eight bosses in any order, and each gives a signature weapon that is effective against another boss. X can scale and jump off walls and charge his shots, Armor Part Capsules upgrade his legs, armor and helmet, and hidden Heart Tanks extend his health while Sub Tanks store energy. Ride Armors appear in some stages, and clearing one stage can change another. Progress is saved by password. Precise controls and bosses with distinct movement patterns, where beating one changes how you fight the others, make it worth playing now.
