The first Mega Man game I ever played and the only one I have beaten. Still love this one. I remember trying to figure out the order to beat the bosses and how cool it was that I even had that opportunity.
Great write up and thanks for the nostalgia trip!
I own them all now, but Mega Man 2 was the only one I had as a kid. The only game I had that I played as much as this was either Contra or Metroid.
