If you are a fan of platformers then Mega Man is a must have. It has all of the basics of the later games in the series without all of the crazy additions like a pet robotic dog or a mega-boosting gun. If you can pick this one up for less than 10 bucks, don’t hesitate.

Lens of Truth
Mega Man is unique blend of action and platforming. The idea of learning your enemies super power was even more astonishing at the time. But Mega Man still wasn’t quite perfect. He cannot duck to evade enemy fire, and falls off ladders if he changes powers while on one. Also, the difficulty at the end of Dr. Wily’s stage can sometimes get really frustrating. Outside of these minor flaws Mega Man is a classic that no gamer should miss.

Der zum Schluss frustrierende Schwierigkeitsgrad trübt den positiven Gesamteindruck des Mega Man-Erstlings. Das abwechslungsreiche und anspruchsvolle Spielprinzip, das mit für die damaligen Verhältnisse guter technischer Umsetzung aufwartet, hätte die Höchstwertung verdient, hätte man damals etwas mehr auf die Spielbalance geachtet. Für das erste Spiel der langlebigen Reihe ist "Mega Man" nach wie vor erstaunlich gut, muss sich jedoch den fünf weiteren NES-Nachfolgern geschlagen geben.

MM1 still shows the rough edges of a fledgling idea, like the reuse of rather standard enemies across all levels, and the painful lack of a password system. You probably won't beat it, and if trying to turns you off to the entire series, it isn't worth playing. It's a fun challenge for fans, a basic scroller for those mostly neutral to the whole idea, and just Another Damn Mega Man Game to any gamers loathe to the overuse of the original's concepts.

Esta é a primeira versão de "Megaman", o simpático robozinho que luta contra o exército de robôs de Dr. Willy. E também a mais difícil: não há senhas nem CONTINUE. Veja a ordem certa para derrotar os robôs:

The Video Game Critic
Mega Man's graphics aren't exceptional, but at least they look clean and well-defined. You'll face a wide array of enemies, but most are small, and some are as simple as floating blocks. The game provides unlimited continues, so you can always pick up right where you left off. Mega Man's tunes are catchy and should bring back fond memories for long-time NES players. It may not look like much, but Mega Man's well conceived gameplay has managed to withstand the test of time.

Overall, this game is a pretty good start to what ended up being a strong franchise for Capcom. This one never saw the popularity of its first two sequels, but it is still a pretty good game and is worth checking out for any fan of action shooters.

Power Play
Endlich mal wieder ein Modul von Nintendo, das man sich kaufen kann, zumindest, wenn man Hüpf- und Laufspiele mag. "Mega Man" ist zwar nicht der Weisheit letzter Schluß, es besticht aber durch seinen abwechslungsreichen Level-Aufbau.

It may not be as streamlined as other Mega Man games, and the difficulty might be a bit much to some, but the original Mega Man is a true classic that challenged the conventions of the platformer genre and paved the way for decade after decade of endless sequels and spinoffs.
