Yeah, you Americans got the worst box art for the Mega Man series. Not saying ours is any better, but the Japanese box art is the best (in my opinion).
This came originally came out at the same time as MegaMan 3 for the NES - they even had a combined commercial for both games, so I still remember. Also, the one you're holding up there is the re-release. The original boxart (of the first edition, so to say) looks WAY better!
@SonataFanatica I bought my copy of Megaman 1 GB in the States maybe a month after it came out in 1991. I have never seen any alternate boxart for it. The one I got was definitely the original release version, at least in the US.
@Prizm4 You're right, my mistake. In Europe we had a different cover. The cover you're showing in the video is the original US version - the reason I confused it was because they used the US boxart for the re-release in Europe, too. ^^
@SonataFanatica Not the re- release,thats the original,the re release was done in 1996 with the silver gameboy logo,like many games re released games that had the silver logo,which by the way was not as good as the original,looks worse
now i am 22 years old...but i had this gameboy and this megaman game at beginning of the 90er too... it was a great gaming time...and this music is burner...^^ fucking fantastic
@sonickun95 I never bought the MM5 cartridge. I had stopped playing Gameboy by then. I didn't find out about it until a couple years after it came out.
@Prizm4 Too bad, i would love to see you making a review for the last installment of the MegaMan series on the GB, you've made great reviews so far =) keep it up =D
@Prizm4 Too bad, i would love to see you making a review for the last installment of the MegaMan series on the GB, you've made great reviews so far =) keep it up =D
Tell me about it. The amount of hours I put in to this game was a lot. I was only 9 when I played it. It was hard to me back then! I was so happy when I clocked it. Great game man, you can't go wrong with this.
I love gameboy. I recently found all my old gameboy stuff, I still enjoy it more then my DS. I need to get a new gameboy though, my mum accidently plugged a phone charger in it blowing it up when I was 7, I've been using my SP.
megaman games always have good bad ass music even tho im nto a big fan of regular megaman im more of a fan of the megaman x games but even tho all megaman games have kick ass music
Great review man! I am writting from Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain.
I had this game, but i exchanged it with a mate and i never see it again. But today I buyed this game in a Cash & Converter store, It only cost 2,99 euros!!!
I like the beginning of your review, when the game don´t loads properly, it is soo authentic!!! XD
My favorite Megaman game and the only 1 I had as a child, and I'm sure it's also the best, but after so many years I can beat the game with no game overs already but it never gets old, I always play it like the first time, it has that magic all the old games have that makes u wanna play them again and again, damn I miss the classics.....
did you know that blowing in your cartridges makes them work by putting a small layer of moisture on the "pins" improving thier conductivity but in the long run corroding them slightly each time? I just give the cart pins a rub with the edge of my shirt or put the cart in and out a few times, seems to do the job and no corrosion!
Brilliant review, I loved it! takes me back to the years when all I had was a little ol Game Boy. (actually not that little, those things can't fit in most pockets XD ) Unfortunately I never owned too many games for it, and this Mega Man is a classic that I missed out on. (Ps box art looks cool)
My favorite GB games were Killer Instinct and Pokemon Blue; I also had Kirby's Dream Land, Donkey Kong Land, and Bass Masters.
Whoa did you really have it in mint condition, or did you just save the packaging all this time? If it was in mint condition, you could've gotten some real $ for that.
i like how you realize that you dont have to overact and scream like a retard to review games. There are soo many lame game reviewers out that that just scream. I enjoy the laid back comedy style of reviewer I.E. deftgamer
Just like to say that your review is good and its nice to hear someone stating how good a game is.. rather than just slagging them off all the time. Also a review with out swearing, thats a first too! Well done, keep it up mate ;o)
Look at the background design and the stage artwork for this very first Megaman game for the Game Boy... they are so intense and so detailed, not to mention beautiful too! This game is a real masterpiece!
See from this debut title how dedicated Capcom is in making an excellent Megaman game for even the black-and-white original Game Boy?
And yes, Enker is a unique robot and Mirror Buster is a very unique weapon.
yu kno i have dis wierd game for gameboy dats has 50 japanese games in therr including "rock"man 1,2,3,4,5,and a very bad version of 8..plus others like sonic,a kinda ok mario, and other crap..its wierd how they've got 50 in one but da grafix for this cudnt be good >=/
I never liked this version. the hardware for the gameboy isnt as good as the nes and so the sprites are bigger and as a result the bosses are dummed down and easier.
OMG this vid is awesome! Yeah like the beggining it was like lol the gameboy won't work cos the black thing came out instead of Nintendo. I experienced that too.
it must've been awesome, back then, to have megaman in your hands. i think its awesome. only the graphics are black and white, while game gear is color
damn this brings back memories i still remember all the passwords good times
