Mega Man
Description official description
It is up to the blue robot Megaman to stop the plot of Dr. Wily, the maverick lab assistant, by jumping and shooting his way past an army of robots. At the end of these levels are three of Dr. Wily's robot masters, Dyna Man, Sonic Man and Volt Man who each drop a key when defeated. These keys are then used to gain access to the room where the megacomputer Crorq is being stored for a final showdown. As always, Megaman can absorb the weapon power of the robot masters and use it as his own.
Mega Man is a side-scrolling platform game. It differs greatly from the earlier console release, with only three bosses and not very many extras to find. Lesser robots can be defeated and drop a variety of power-ups including an energy capsule for filling energy, a weapon capsule which restores the power of captured robot weapons, an extra life, a continue and an energy tank which will restore all of Megaman's energy once.

The Good
A neat little game. It was fun to play and I actually completed it a few times in a friend's house. Reasonably good graphics, good controls, decent sound effects (if nothing more) and a good degree of platform fun make this a really fun game to play.
The Bad
It's very short, too easy and there's no music (at least there wasn't any when I played it).
The Bottom Line
A nice platform game I used to play quite a bit.

Trivia
Cover art
The front cover box art for this game is taken from Mega Man 3. So is the enemy robot (Spark Man) on the back of the box (he doesn't appear in the PC game, however).
