Mega Man

"Mega Man, the second robot created by Dr. Thomas Light, was originally intended only to perform functions in the laboratory that Dr. Light could not. Slowly Dr. Light began using Mega Man for more and more advanced robotics experiments. One day, Mega Man walked in on Dr. Light listening to an intercepted transmission from the evil Dr. Wily. The transmission exposed Dr. Wilys plans for world domination. Mega Man convinced the good Dr. Light to let him chase down and eliminate the threat of his nemesis. Mega Mans days as a gofer in the lab were over."

"RUSH Where would any person be without a trust canine at their side? The same goes for the Blue Bomber and Rush the Robo Dog. Rush can transform himself into many different vehicles so Mega Man cannot do without him. All Rush powers have limited energy, and once you call on him you must use all the energy from that power."

"Keep going! Destroy all the robot fiends in this level, and you’ll face the diabolical Robot Master. His Energy Meter appears on the right of yours, so you can keep an eye on who’s winning! If you lose all your chances, the game ends. But if you demolish the Robot Master, you gain his weapons and capture the energy crystals from his world. Then you can take on the next maniac."

"METAL ATTACK "Calling Mega Man! Calling mega Man! Come in please! Mega Man, we need you! We’re down to the wire on our peace-keeping project. We’ve got to get those last energy crystals or we can’t finish it. Dr. Wily is here now, too…. Yes… he’s finally found his sanity. He knows where the crystals are! They’re in the mining worlds, but we can’t get to ‘em. The robots are running amok and they’re destroying everything! “You’ve got to her there, Mega Man, and get those crystals! You’ll have to face some pretty mean metal. Expect the worst! Is Rush there with you? Give him a bolt to chew on and tell him it’s from us. What’s that – we must be getting static-sounds like you said ‘Woof!’ “Mega Man, get to those mining worlds pronto! Grab the crystal sand stop whoever’s in charge. He’s one lunatic guy! “This is Dr. Light. Over and out!”"

"It’s MEGA MAN versus the powerful leaders and fighting forces of Monsteropolis-that strange multi-faceted land of robot-like Humanoids. Brilliant scientist Dr. Wright conceived the construction of fully-operational human-like experimental robots to perform specific everyday duties. Dr. Wright, and his assistant Dr. Wily, encouraged with their very first near-human robot – Mega Man proceeded to develop six additional humanoids, all programmed to perform prescribed rituals: Cutman: Designed to function as a lumberjack. Powerful saw-toothed scissor-like instrument protrudes from head, capable of gnawing through giant forest timbers. Gutsman: A bulldozing character capable of lifting and transporting huge boulders. Iceman: Impervious to chilling sub-zero temperatures, capable of human-like performances under extreme climatic conditions. Bombman: A real “blaster” as a heavy duty laborer who uses intensely powerful explosives to clear lands for Dr. Wright’s construction projects. Fireman: Melts and molds metals with flame throwing torch flaring from atop his head. Elecman: Dr. Wright’s electrifying creation- planned for conducting electrical operations – even supervising nuclear power plants. But, with the exception of MEGA MAN, all of Dr. wright’s near-human robot experimentation went awry. Assistant Dr. Wily turned disloyal, re-programming Dr. Wright’s Humanoids, now bent on destroying opposition so Dr. Wily could control the world and its resources. Resisting re-programming, MEGA MAN is chosen the defender of the universe and its inhabitants. MEGA MAN dares to single-handedly penetrate seven separate empires of Monsteropolis, eliminating the leaders and followers of these sovereignties. Get ready for some very exciting challenges!"

"As MEGA MAN defeats each enemy, he acquires their powers. HeatMan: The [H] Atomic Fire can throw three different sizes of fireballs. The longer you hold the fire button, the bigger the fireball. AirMan: The [A] Air Shooter throws small tornados WoodMan: The [W] Lead Shield creates a shield around you until you move. The leaves are then thrown in the direction the control pas is pushed. BubbleMan: The [B] Bubble Lead is a bubble that rolls on the ground in front of your and damages that it hits. QuickMan: The [O] Quick Boomerang can throw up to three boomerangs. Hold the fire button for continuous fire. FishMan: The [F] Time Stopper will freeze all enemies for a little while. Be careful. When this is used, it will continue until it is completely drained of energy. It cannot be turned off early. MetalMan: The [(M)]: Metal Blade is a gear. Up to three may be thrown in any direction the control pas is pushed. This is probably the best general purpose weapon and the energy lasts a long time. CrashMan: The [C] Crash Bomber can be thrown at walls and will detonate after a short delay. It may be used to get through certain walls. These weapons work with varying degrees of effectiveness on different opponents. It is best to experiment, especially when fighting the final robot of each level."

"INVITATION TO DOOM! A year after the destruction of Gamma, a mysterious message arrives a Dr. Lights lab... Good evening, Dr. Light. Allow me to introduce myself-I am Dr. Cossack. You may not have heard of me, but soon the world will know my name. Over the years, you have been hailed as the greatest robot designer in the world, while my robotic creations have been totally ignored. I cannot allow this to continue. The world must be made aware of my genius! From my Siberian citadel, Ive sent eight of my most powerful robots to destroy that titanium troublemaker, Mega Man. Once they have obliterated him, I will place his broken body on display for the entire world to see. Only then will I be allowed to take my place as the greatest robot designer of all time! Dr. Cossack."

"Battle your way through a mad onslaught of crazed machinery. The Robot Masters pour on more insane weapons than you can believe! They clank, buzz, crawl, shoot, and blast from every direction. Explore every room and corridor. Climb every ladder Dodge, slide, leap, and fire to blast your attackers or at least get away! You start the round with 3 chances to make it through. Watch your Energy Meter at the top left corner of the screen. Your energy drains away as your take the crushing blows your foes dish out. Good thing you’ve got a steel noggin!"

"BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER! “Cossack to Mega Man! Cossack to Mega Man! Come in, Mega Man!” “Protoman has gone wild! City Hall and the spaceport have been totally destroyed and the citys power grid is in shambles. Ive never seen destruction on this scale before.” “I know youre worried about Dr. Light, but your first duty is to free the city from the grip of Protomans robots. I can modify your reactor to give the Mega Buster a little more power, but the rest is up to you. Dr. Light and I had been working on a special project, but its not finished yet. Maybe if I can get it working, it might give you an edge.” Remember to watch your back mega Man. Protoman seems to have become more ruthless than we thought possible. Good Luck.” “Cossack out!”"

"ATTACK OF THE CYBERNETIC SOLDIERS! The dark shadows of Protomans eight robots now cover the city. Each of these cybernetic soldiers have surrounded themselves with wave after wave of mindless metal munchkins who are just waiting to pound Mega Man! Its up to you to run, jump and climb past death-dealing robots and metallic maniacs to get into the robot masters inner sanctum. Once you arrive, youll dig in and stand toe-to-toe against his awesome attacks! Pummel him with the power of your Mega Buster to throw him on the scrap heap for good. Add his weapon to your arsenal and get ready for action as you face the enxt robotic rebel!"

"THE MYSTERIOUS MR.X The most talented robot designers from across the globe have come to the 1st Annual Robot Tournament sponsored by the billionaire, Mr X. Traveling from Japan, Canada and the United States, the designers have brought their finest cybernetic creations to do battle in a series of tests to see which robot can claim the title of “The Most Powerful Robot In the World.” Nothing seems strange as the contest begins, but when the top eight robots enter the arena for the final event, the lights dim and the mysterious Mr. X appears... “Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish to thank you all for coming to see the final event of my 1st Annual Robot Tournament. As you know, I have kept the final event of the tournament secret. This event will test the strength, skill and intelligence of each of these fine robots. In fact, it will also test the strength and skill of each one of you. That may seem strange, but Im sure you will understand when I explain that the final test for these robots is to help me conquer the world!” “Please excuse me and my robots as we teleport out of here, but we have a lot of work to do. But dont worry, youll see me again soon. Real Soon!”"

"POWER UP! As you blast Protomans cybernetic creations to smithereens, you will gain their special weapon and add it to your arsenal."
