Not the game that started it all but it was indeed my first Mega Man game.
Mega Man 2 also known as Rockman 2: The Mystery of Dr. Wily in japan. Is about you trying to beat down the evil Dr. Wily. Now if it was just you and him in a room then it would be a very very short game but nope he comes packing with some rogue robots as backup to this fight (well he does so in most games realy). The plot for Mega Man 2 is very simple, Dr. Wily after his defeat in the last game is back and has eight new Robot Masters of his design. He has also built a new fortress. Sent by his creator, Dr. Light it is your job as Mega Man to defeat Dr. Wily once and for all (yeah right).
Who are these would be Robot Masters of doom? Well they range from the crazy to the strange to the down right wrong:
Metal Man.
Air Man.
Bubble Man.
Quick Man.
Crash Man.
Flash Man.
Heat Man.
Wood Man.
Each needing to be beat down before you are able to get to Dr. Wily and each giving you a power once you have defeated them which makes you (in most cases) a better fighter for the othere robot masters.
Mega Man 2 came out on December 24 1988 for the NES it has been on many many othere platforms as well. These include: PlayStation, mobile phones, Virtual Console, iOS, PlayStation Network.
Not much more needs to be said about this game other than the fact that this was gave Mega Man the push he needed to become the game everyone wanted to play. So if you have not played this yet then what on earth are you waiting for. Get out there and find a copy of this game...you will enjoy it alot :).
