I'm going out of town in mid September. Wanna hydra with me in all the games I signed up for.

I'm not closed to the idea.

I want to play this, but I can't commit until mid-September because of Sandwich Shack events during the first two weekends in September... August 31 to Sept 2 and Sept 7 to 9 I will be working the food truck all day and into the late evening, and will not be able to participate reasonably. After Sept 9 I have a couple more events going on, but they're all one-evening or one-afternoon events.

megaman 2 is the best, change my mind
Two was my introduction to the series, and I'm glad for it, because after that one, everything that came after seemed easy (the first one is by far the hardest).

Mega Man 3 was excellent.

Mega Man 4 mesmerized me as a kid and my only experience for the longest time was renting it. I got it eventually, but man, trying to beat it two nights at a time is frustrating when there's only one TV in the house and you've got parents and several siblings. Mega Man 4, I think holds the most "nostalgia value" for me, if you dig, and might have been my favorite...

Except that Mega Man 5 was brilliant, and I think I'd have to award that one the best in the series. The Mega Buster looked badass, there were fresh elements to the levels (particularly the stages of Gravity Man and Wave Man), and Beat was a cool surprise. The visuals were the best. I think Wave Man's soundtrack might be the best tune in the series.

I used to subscribe to a gaming magazine, and I'll never forget that I was in Virginia to attend my aunt's wedding, and I took the latest issue with me. When I saw the Mega Man 6 preview, I drooled little kid drool. When I finally got to play it, I was underwhelmed. The robot masters were shamelessly derivative in some cases ("Plant Man? With a Plant Shield?"). It was still good, in the way that all of the games in the series were (rock-paper-scissors game play, figuring out the best order, oh gosh you'll never guess who the villain is), and the music was excellent, but it just didn't have the same magic as the previous titles.

Then I saved my lawnmowing money and got Mega Man X, but that's a different story...

I also started with Mega Man 2, and loved Mega Man 3 as well... especially the 'player 2 controller superjump trick'! I remember jumping the height of the screen and chucking Shadow Blades in all directions as Metal Man did the same with saw blades... so intense! I also made grid-enlarged drawings of Spark Man and Magnet Man for a couple of art classes... they're laminated and I almost definitely still have them somewhere. Never continued in the series though.
