Some thoughts about the original Mega Man...

For an introduction / explanation, go to: http://megamanmarathonrun.blogspot.com/2008/08/mega-man-marathon-run-introduction.html

The only trait I like about the original Mega Man is it's difficulty. Yes, you have to start somewhere, but the levels are long, repetitive, and generally a pain to deal with. The music is bad, the game is buggy, and the graphics are choppy.

While I have a tremendous respect for the difficulty, I can't tell you my frustration trying to beat this without dying. I'm consistently beating the first six levels as well as the first Wily level. The clone gives me trouble once in a while, but the big killer is the gauntlet of bosses at the end. Once again, I managed to get all the way to phase 2 of Wily today only to die right at the end.

They say that practice makes perfect. That's fine and dandy, but they don't tell you that practice also makes you CRAZZZY!!!!!

...so I guess I'll keep practicing. I'll save my craziness for the morning.
