Released in 1987 by Capcom for the NES, Rockman is the Japanese version of the seminal action platformer that launched an entire franchise. Known as Mega Man in the West, this challenging run-and-gun classic introduces players to the iconic blue bomber on his quest to stop Dr. Wily’s six reprogrammed Robot Masters.
How to Play
The objective is to defeat each Robot Master and acquire their unique weapon to exploit the weaknesses of the others. Use the arrow keys to move, X to jump, Z to shoot your buster, and Enter to pause the game.
Tips
Starting with Bomb Man or Cut Man is usually easiest, as their stages and patterns are more manageable for beginners. Additionally, be sure to find and use the Magnet Beam to cross difficult gaps and bypass some of the game’s notoriously challenging platforming sections.
