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.

Sorry for any errors, I'm not an english speaker.

There may be hundreds of sequels, but the original is still the best if you ask me. It starts out with Dr. Wily and Dr. Light being buds, and creating 6 robots to help mankind. The robots were Bombman, who could explode unneeded buildings and such; Gutsman, who had enormous strength that could crush boulders; Cutman, who could chop down trees; Fireman, who could burn unnecessary objects and explore volcanic areas; and Iceman, who could explore Arctic area (there's also Elecman, but I forget his benefit.) During their companionship, Dr. Wily betrays Dr. Light and has the robots do his bidding. Dr. Wily, now a madman who hopes to conquer the world, must be stopped. Dr. Light realizes that his former cleaning robot, Mega Man, is everyone's last hope. Mega Man sets off to face the evil robots, and at the end meets Dr. Wily himself. This game is very original, and quite fun to play. As in any Mega Man game, you receive the enemies' power after defeating them, which in turn can help you find out secrets, and help you defeat some of the other robots. Viva Mega Man!

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.

The first Rockman/Mega Man game was definitely a good point for its time, but the term "First Game Syndrome" is appropriate for this title. Weird decisions, absurd difficulty spikes from potential lack of play testing or lack of experience, hit-or-miss weapons, primitive controls, and wonky physics are all present within the first title of this franchise, but it has laid down enough foundation to still be a game worth playing through at least just once. It only lasts 2-3 hours, so it won't take up too much of your time, even if you didn't like it. If you're okay with going out of order, however, you can skip this one, since almost every other Mega Man game does what this game does better.
