Anyone under the age of 30 ought to try these games, so that they may see how hard my generation truly had it.



I was around 9-12 years-old when these games were first released. I only had games 2 and 3, and they were among my all-time favorites. The concept design and innovative gameplay were both extremely attractive, and when I mastered/finished both games, it felt like a major accomplishment. Of course, I was a child then, and did not have the responsibilities that I have now, so bragging about a victory in a Mega Man game may have seemed like making a big deal over nothing.



I was well within my right to celebrate my wins.



As I write this, my 40th birthday is exactly two months away, and if I continue to play these games, I may die of a massive stroke well before. Compared to the current landscape of action/adventure games, the difficulty level of the first six Mega Man games was more cruel and unforgiving than any abusive, alcoholic father you might have seen in the movies.



Luckily, these are perfect translations of the games, which means that the glitches from games 1 and 2 have not been removed. USE THEM. For an added bonus, the Legacy collection allows you to save your progress up-to-the-second, which has proven to be very helpful in obstacles and boss fights.



I am experiencing games 4, 5, and 6 for the first time. I also believe in finishing whatever I start, so I will continue on until all six games have been finished.



I won't advise against the purchase of this game, especially at this low price, but be warned. Games are meant to be fun, and some of the treasures of our childhood are better left locked away.
