Yeah they are hard. You're in for some shyt down the line. You have to be patient, keep watching the patterns. Some of my fav games from back in the day though.

 

[KinksandCoils]

I had it as a child and I don't remember even getting past the beginning levels.

 

[Animal House]

Yeah its you. I beat 1-4 as a kid, but 3 is tough i wont lie

 

[el_oh_el]

Yeah it's pretty fukkin hard

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Yea they had to be. Those carts held like 256 kb of data so there wasn't much room to make a lengthy game so they had to make them hard as shyt in order to extend the experience.

I beat all those games when I was 9 years old.

Mega man 2 was the easiest. Mega man 1 was the hardest. Three and four were in between.

I just learned that Megaman 2 was dumbed down for americans back then. I remember you could just dominate that game with the metal saw, and it almost never ran out.

right before dr. Wily you have to fight metalman again. I remember thinking "why not", and I used the metal saw. It straight up obliterated him in one shot. The metal saw is probably one of the most powerful wespons in video game history.

I had the Megaman Anniversary Collection on PS2 and forced myself to get good at the series, now I can rock out any of the entries. The only thing that I never truly mastered were the disappearing blocks. Those are still miserable to this day.

I remember when I used to play the Megaman series back on NES. Took the time out to learn patterns and eventually formulate strategies on bosses/stages and felt like a winner doing it back in the mid 90's.
Copped one of those Anniversary compilations like two years ago, got my ass handed to me and I stuck to just sticking stages and listening to the music before the timer ran out.

Megaman 1 is still a very difficult game. The other megamans just took practice and memorization. But if you grew up on the last 2 generations of gaming, I can see you having a tough time. But they are rewarding as hell once you beat them.

I didnt beat (X) until like last summer. Game used to whoop my ass as a kid

 

[OoklatheMok]

I don't think I've ever beat the originals. I can breeze through the MegaMan X series though.

 

[NatiboyB]

Yeah games back than were a lot more challenging especially Contra and Mega Man I didn't have too many games like that but I remember these 2 series greatly.
