Mega Man (video game)

Overview
Full name: Mega Man: The Mega Man Story

Japanese Name: Rockman

Six robots have been built by Dr. Light, for many purposes. The evil Dr. Wily, however, has plans of destruction for them. You are Mega Man, who must stop Dr. Wily.

Story
It's Mega Man versus the powerful leaders and fighting forces of Monsteropolis - the strange multi-faceted land of robot-like humanoids.

Brilliant scientist Dr. Light conceived the construction of fully operational human-like experimental robots to preform specific everyday duties. Dr. Light and his assistant Dr. Wily, encouraged by their very first near-human robot - Mega Man - proceeded to develop six additional Humanoids, all programmed to preform prescribed rituals.

But with the exception of Mega Man, all of Dr. Light's near-human robot experimentation went awry. Assistant Dr. Wily turned disloyal, re-programming Dr. Light's humaniods, now bent on destroying opposition so Dr. Wily can control the world and its resources.

Resisting re-programming, Mega Man is chosen as the defender of the universe and its inhabitants. Mega Man dares to single-handedly penetrate seven separate empires of Monsteropolis, eliminating the leaders and followers of these sovereignties.

Fun Facts

 * This is the only game with a score system!


 * The American box art was completely different from the real Mega Man concept. The reason for this was that the Capcom's American game developers thought that the cuteness of the character would not be attractive in the eyes of the U.S.A's public. That was also the reasoning behind changing "Rockman" to "Mega Man" -- an attempt to make it sound more heroic.
