/vr/ - Retro Games

The starting jungle sucks, and really exists just to filter rental players. Once you get past that, everything up until the end is good cinematic platformer action fun. The ending area is full of bullshit, but I can't think of many cinematic platformers that aren't bullshit in the final areas.
So 80% good fun, 10% drawn out filter, 10% alien-rape-fest with timed escape.

Mega Man 2 for me. It wasn't the lasers. It wasn't the vanishing/appearing blocks. No. I got filtered by the fucking Dragon in the Wily stages. Why? Because I kept trying to fight him before his health bar even appeared. I thought you were supposed to kill him while you ran away. So I'd try to shoot at him while running, and kept falling off to my death. Years later I came back to it, and just kept running while getting ready to fight. Suddenly the screen stops scrolling, and his health bar appears. I had to pause to rage at my younger self.

MegaMan games in general on the NES had some funky boxart. MM3 gives MM rapeface. And MM2 isn't much better.
