Clear your desktop, Mega Man fans. The Blue Bomber is ready to bust a charge shot through your monitor.
Capcom has provided GamesRadar with authentic pieces of artwork from the original Mega Man series.
The massive spread includes original drawings, promotional images and wallpapers featuring characters and artwork from the first eight Mega Man games. Along with the Blue Bomber himself, each of Dr. Wily’s villanous robots is beautifully depicted in vibrant color drawings.
GamesRadar posted the classic images as part of its ongoing Mega Man Week. It also published an extensive Mega Man retrospective yesterday and promises an “exclusive announcement” Thursday.

The one and only Mega Man game I played was the second one and we had a blast. I’m not sure if we ever beat it but we tried many times. Are any of the newer ones worth playing?

haha- yeah they are dustin.
well, if by newer ones you mean #s 4-6. i quit after the snes era. but man, they were pretty much all the same. but they were consistent!
if you like the formula, go grab the originals.
the uh, meg- man-defender-of-the-intertubes stuff looks a little too yugioh for me to even consider playing, so i can’t comment on them. but def play the snes one (think it was mega man x) if you can.

Dustin, you’ve only played one Mega Man game?
All of the games in the original Mega Man series (1-8) are a blast. Ignore the spin-offs and such; for the most part, they are garbage, and even at their X and ZX best, they still pale in comparison to the original series.
It is considered one of gaming’s all-time greats for a reason.
