Mega Man is an action-adventure platform game developed by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The first in a series, players control the character Mega Man as he fights to stop the evil Dr. Wily and his illicit robot production. The game’s modernistic design and gameplay involve traversing stages, each with unique enemies, obstacles, and a robot master at the end. Players can obtain the defeated robots’ special weapons, utilizing strategy by exploiting the weaknesses of bosses. The nonlinear play-style, inventive power-ups, memorable 8-bit soundtrack, and challenging difficulty made this retro-game a genre-defining classic.
