#46 Mega Man 2 (NES) "Kill Wily"
Mega Man is a great franchise and out of the few I've played Mega Man 2 come out at the top. It improved on the already great Mega Man 1 and offered some really great levels and platforming that was truly hard but not cheap. It was all up to your skills. As with other Mega Man games it's fun to just figure out in which order to play the stages so you hopefully get an advantage over the next boss. Some bosses are tough, especially when you have to battle them all later in the game. I always die a lot but it's ok; it doesn't feel cheap and you don't have to start from scratch. While the gameplay and level design are great, the music must be mentioned as well. The soundtrack is wonderful and features some of my most favourite pieces of gaming music! The Dr Wily Stage 1 (I think?) theme is just epic! I'm never in a hurry to clear that stage! Mega Man Rock! |

Still, great game.
And speaking of Mega Man...
22. Mega Man 3 - NES
Let's just put aside the fact, that this is the first game I ever played, and look at this objectively: Mega Man 3 admittedly has some problems. The Top Spin is bloody useless, the Rush Jet is broken and Top Man himself is just pathetic. But the positives so outweigh the negatives.
The controls couldn't be better. The game is reasonably difficult. And with the exception of Top Man and *immature giggle* Hard Man, all of the robot masters in MM3 are amongst the best in the series. Instead of more generic fire and ice bosses, we get snakes and ninjas and whatever the Hell Gemini Man is!
And the soundtrack? Flawless. I'm gonna raise some controversy by saying, that it is the best video game soundtrack of all time. And that's saying something.
