How To Play Megaman Games

05 Aug 2008

Capcom's popular MegaMan (the Japanese call him Rockman) was first released all the way back in 1987 and is based on the video game character originally created by Keiji Inafune. Rather amazingly, this series of games is still going strong even now, 21 years later!

Whether you're already a fan of MegaMan or have just discovered the delights of battling Dr Wily, there are still lots of ways to play MegaMan games on a wide range of modern consoles. Check out our MegaMan game pages and see if anyone's willing to swap a MegaMan game with you:

  Mega Man Anniversary Collection (GameCube)   Mega Man Legends (PS1)   Mega Man Anniversary Collection (PS2)   Mega Man Anniversary Collection (XBox)   Mega Man Powered Up (PSP)
The storyline features MegaMan's battles to thwart Dr. Albert W. Wily - who is intent on world domination. As MegaMan, you've been cobbled together from a lowly lab assistant robot by Dr. Thomas Light to stop Wily.

All the MegaMan games feature the same style of gameplay - MegaMan must battle through a series of stages, defeating the Robot Master at the end of each stage. Rather handily, you then gain the Robot Master's unique weapon, which you can use throughout the rest of the game. You've got immense speed and strength, as well as a handy arm cannon to blast away with.

The earlier games were amongst the hardest too - although there was a neat pause trick/glitch you could use to help defeat the Robot Masters. While this glitch has been left in some versions of the game, others don't have it, so don't get too reliant on it.

So, if you're up for a bit of old-style gaming action, you could do a lot worse than play MegaMan games - they're gaming classics.
