Mega Man (Nintendo, 1987)

The original Mega Man-classic, challenging, and fun. I think this is a great game from the 80's. It had a cult following as evidenced by the number of sequels that followed. It's fun and had incredibly good graphics and music for the era and system it was designed for. Some NES games have annoying and downright terrible music scores, but this game took advantage of every bit of usable technology for the NES in that regard. Though the sequels that came out later seemed to have slightly more color and better graphics, this game was EXTREMELY impressive for 1987. Capcom even stated on the box: "State-of-the-Art" and "High Resolution Graphics".
The only complaint I might have about it, and it's a minor one, is that this is the hardest Mega Man game out of the 6 made for the original NES. It takes a long commitment to win this game unless you play it regularly. Some levels are much harder than others and there is a relative order to take when selecting levels to be able to beat the bosses with their acquired weapons. But, a challenge is a good thing. Overall, this gets 5 stars.
