Wily & Light no Rockboard – That’s Paradise is a Monopoly-style digital board game released by Capcom in 1993 for the NES. Set in the Mega Man universe, it leaves behind the series’ traditional action-platforming and instead lets you play as characters like Dr. Light, Dr. Wily, Roll, and Dr. Cossack. Players compete on various themed boards to buy up real estate, collect rent, and bankrupt their opponents to emerge as the wealthiest character in the city.
How to Play
The objective is to move around the board, purchase unowned properties, and upgrade them to charge higher rent to players who land on them. You can also use special cards featuring classic Mega Man enemies to trigger effects or sabotage others. Use the arrow keys (D-pad) to navigate the board and menus, Z (A button) to roll the dice or confirm actions, and X (B button) to cancel. Press Enter (Start) to access the menu and Shift (Select) as needed.
Tips
– Focus on buying properties that are close together; dominating a specific section of the board makes it much harder for opponents to avoid paying you rent.
– Save your powerful boss cards for crucial moments, such as protecting your most valuable properties or forcing a wealthy opponent to lose their turn.
– Always keep a reserve of zenny (money) on hand. If you spend everything on upgrades and land on an opponent’s high-rent space, you will be forced to auction off your assets.
