About
As of 2026, it's 39 years old.
Mega Man is a little blue robot who defeats evil robot masters and then steals their powers, which is both an excellent game mechanic and ethically a bit questionable when you think about it. Beat Fire Man, get the fire gun; it's looting with extra steps.
Debuting in 1987, it became famous for difficulty so precise and punishing that it built a whole subculture of players who consider repeated death a form of self-improvement.
Crisp, colorful, and lovingly merciless, Mega Man is the platformer that turned 'try again' into a lifestyle and stealing your enemies' abilities into an art form.
