When a peacekeeping effort between Dr. Light and Dr. Wily go haywire, it's up to Mega Man (who now has the ability to slide under obstacles) and his robotic companion Rush to traverse the universe and defeat the Robot Masters in the third installment of the Mega Man series.
Originally released for the Japan-exclusive MSX2 in 1990, this sequel is set four years after the Outer Heaven incident. New FOXHOUND commander, Roy Campbell, brings a shell-shocked Solid Snake back from early retirement to infiltrate the military nation Zanzibar Land.
Mega Man is a DOS game developed by Hi-Tech Expressions and released only in the U.S. Originally intended to be an official part of the franchise, the game was panned for its low quality.
A mech real-time combat game that allowed the player, as an eponymous MechWarrior, to fight other mechs from a first-person perspective. It is based on the Battletech wargaming franchise and was followed by many sequels.
An early first-person role-playing shooter released by Arsys Software. Ahead of its time, it had 3D polygon graphics, FPS gameplay, strafing controls, open-world space exploration, and an epic sci-fi space opera plot.
The evil Dr. Wily is back with eight new menacing creations, and it's up to Mega Man to foil his new plans for world domination! Known for bootstrapping the long-running series, the game also introduces passwords, helpful items (such as Energy Tanks), and the series standard of eight bosses.
Help Chelnov defeat the Deathtarians and rescue his sister, as he runs inexorably to the right in this side-scrolling shooter.
Featuring a robotic protagonist that could siphon the abilities of his adversaries, Mega Man is a side-scrolling platformer that begins the never-ending struggle between cheeky hero Mega Man and the evil roboticist Dr. Wily.
A first-person adventure game with RPG elements, released by Microcabin in 1986. The game featured environments rendered in 3D polygon graphics, for possibly the first time in a home video game, along with early survival horror elements. However, the game is better remembered for its cyberpunk narrative, which was adapted into a sci-fi novel shortly afterwards.
Wingman 2: Kitakura no Fukkatsu ("Wingman 2: Resurrection of Kitakura") is an adventure game developed by TamTam and published by Enix in 1986.
Brain Breaker is an epic open-world platform-adventure for the Sharp X1 Japanese home computer. It was an early Metroidvania-style game, predating both Metroid and Castlevania. It was designed by Hiroshi Ishikawa and published by Enix in 1985.
Descend further and further underground to destroy the alien force Octy and save Planet Paccet! Released in 1985, it was an early side-scrolling, run & gun shooter, and featured a female protagonist, Toby Masuyo. It also bears a striking resemblance to Metroid, in terms of both its gameplay system and female protagonist.
An adventure game based off the anime and manga franchise of the same name published by Enix in 1984.
An early run & gun shooter designed by Hiroshi Ishikawa in the summer of 1983 and published by Enix in October 1983.
An early 1983 laserdisc video game released by Nihon Bussan and Data East, based on the anime film Harmagedon released that same year.
Mega Man Universe is the cancelled Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network game that would have been a 2D platformer that emphasized stage creation and bringing the old school and new school together.
