Games will never top this... ever.
Mega Man was one of the Nintendo games I grew up. This will remain as one of my favorites. Despite the fact that it was an 8-bit game, the graphics, gameplay, and sound\music were much better than most Nintendo games of that time. I especially love the "de-dit" sound that Mega Man makes every time he lands on the ground!
fairly fun, pretty hard though
Rockman (or "Megaman" here in the west) is a classic NES game which every nerd knows quite well, although I doubt that they all finished it. Even I had a rough time playing this game. Anyway, Rockman is a good time killing and I'll prove it.
First, the soundtrack is insane. I think Rockman 1 has OSTs very underrated, like the Dr. Willy Theme. It's a shame that the bosses have the same track, and not their own.
The enemies are really vast and creative. The same goes for the stages layout and the traps on it, but I'll talk about it later. The "robomans" (whose have straightforward names) have quite the same logic to defeat them, but it's still a nice combat. Also, copying their abilities is a creative touch and I respect it.
Now, if I had to say a problem, I'll would say that this game is hard and sometimes unfair with the player. Spikes with instant-kill hidden in places, enemies positioned strategically for you to hit them and literally zero explanation on how to defeat bosses. You'll have to be empirical to know that fire > ice. Anyway, maybe this gives Rockman its fame.
TL/DR: classic fun game to play for a 1 or 2 hours until you burnout and try again next day. When you realize, you'll be addicted to this.

A good start for a well known franchise.
This was the begining of a major video game franchise. Dr.Light makes 8 robots each of which has its own special ability. Then his assistant Dr. Wily reprograms 6 of them, and makes them do evil. Thus one of the 8 robots of Dr. Light Rock becomes Mega Man, whose new duty is to defeat the evil robots, and then defeat Dr. Wily himself. This game was the begining of one of the longest running video game franchises in the world, not to mention one that would have over 20 sequels! This game will go down in history as one of the best ever!

Challenging, Yet Fun
The game that started it all, Mega Man is one of the NES games that is infamous for being one of the hardest for the console. You take on the role of Mega Man, a helper robot who has been modified into a super fighting robot after six of Dr. Light's robots are stolen and reprogrammed by the evil Dr. Wily to aid him in world domination. Don't let the cutesy character fool you, this game is hard. Each stage has a hazard that can cause instant death if you fail to correctly time your jumps (like Guts Man's moving platforms at the start if his stage, or the floating platforms in Ice Man's stage that are over a bottomless pit). However, the game is easy to play (D-Pad moves Mega Man, A jumps, and B fires his arm cannon or the weapons he can gain by beating the six Robot Masters). Also, the first six stages can be done in any order, with the next four stages being linear. If you are looking for a classic challenge, Mega Man is a must play.
Did you know
- TriviaThe subplot about Dr. Wily being Dr. Light's old assistant and turning on him only exists in the American version. In the Japanese version, Wily was just a random mad scientist who had no initial connections to Dr. Light prior to stealing and reprogramming his robots.
- Alternate versionsRe-released in 1993 as part of "Mega Man: The Wily Wars" for the Sega Genesis, which was basically Mega Man 1, 2 and 3 plus an original game called "Wily Tower." All three games received graphical updates, giving them a 16-bit appearance instead of their original 8-bit graphics.
