Just fired up MegaMan games...

Big B · 17-08-2006, 02:12 AM

Yeah, these games still rock. I need to get a gamepad so I don't have to hack it with a keyboard, but still, the Megaman series rocks hard. Proof positive that graphics don't mean it's a good game. I wish some of the current developers would understand that concept.

What exatly is megaman about?

I think that in current games, graphics do matter, DOOM 3 had crap gameplay, i still played it just for the graphics!

One evil scientist creates a bunch of evil robots to take over the world. Megaman is created to stop them, and their creator, Dr. Wiley. Robots kick ass, 'nuff said. This is the original Nintendo stuff, but you can get emulators for most consoles if you look around. Let's put it this way: when the Nintendo came out, I was in kindergarden.

Willz · 19-08-2006, 05:08 PM

:o, wow i never knew the nintendo was that old : O, i thought it was only like 10 or 15 years old

Big B · 19-08-2006, 05:55 PM

That's right. I'm only 25. Nintendo the company has been around for ages, but they started off making playing cards.

Willz · 19-08-2006, 06:39 PM

:o playing cards :0 man they must be ancient.

yorkkev28 · 23-08-2006, 03:30 PM

Megaman used to do my head in. i used to have it on my NES.

Speaking about old consoles i remember getting my first Atari 2600 and being thouroughly in awe of the amazing quality of the games, crystal castles, qbert and the most incompletable game ever. Pacman.

Willz · 23-08-2006, 03:34 PM

Lol, i always played Pacman along with Paperboy and Lemming on my Amiga 500, i remember, i seen my m8 once with an Amiga 2000 and i wanted it so bad lol, there worth scrap, and yet almost sold it for 60quid, then my mum gave it away

Exfoliate · 23-08-2006, 05:02 PM

I'd like to try the Megaman series but I've got 3 problems, 1, I don't have a nintendo (though I suppose I could look for a classics collection for PS2), 2, I don't really know where to start, there's a ton of those games, like the X series, or Maverick, or just Megaman 5 or whatever. And 3 I heard they were damn hard to the point of serious frustration which doesn't sound like it'd be good for me, but you never know.

Big B · 23-08-2006, 08:06 PM

Most people use emulators for the PC, so if you search around, you can find them and the ROMs pretty easily. I bought a cheap game controller just so I could play them.

Exfoliate · 23-08-2006, 10:29 PM

True dude but the whole illegal thing comes into play then unfortunatley.

Willz · 23-08-2006, 10:56 PM

Your not going to get caught, its pathetic that emulators are illigal, apparently its illigal to download megadrive games and there emulators, thats pathetic!, cant even buy mega drivers or there games anymore, infact, i seen a megadrive came in a bargin basket in a shop once, 50P lol, and i found a perfectly good megadrive game in the street once about 6 years ago, what did i do, play football with it, thats how useless they are, now i got an emulator on my xbox with every N64, sega genesis (mega drive) some 32x thing, snes, nes games on.

Big B · 23-08-2006, 11:26 PM

To be specific, using emulators are only illegal IF you don't own the game. It never says you have to have a working console. I'm half tempted to get a Wii so I can snag the classics on a working console. That's why I didn't link anything because of the potential illegality. Kinda like why we don't link where to get BitTorrent client software. It's not strictly illegal (as Linux distros can be downloaded through them), but it's better to play it safe than sorry.

Exfoliate · 24-08-2006, 02:13 AM

I've got ya, I naturally don't own any of those old games and probably never will, can't say this ever stopped me before but I'm trying to at least cut down on my downloading of that type of thing. It's pretty ridiculous that it's illegal after those games obviously aren't making any company money now for years but that Wii idea is a good one.
And just for the record I don't think the mega drive and Genesis are the same thing, I belive the megadrive was a mid 80's console, Sega's first, and the Genesis was around 90/91 or so.

Willz · 24-08-2006, 09:11 AM

but the sega and genesis were practically the same, they had all the same games :s

Its so annoying that downloading is illigal, it cant be that illigal or i would be in prison now of be having to pay out lots and lots and lots and lots of money.

It seems the the authorities in the uk dont really care about people downloading as long as there not distributing it.
