DESTINATION: METEOR CRASH — Mega Man

"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."

"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."

"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!"

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

"We have created a wealthy society with tens of millions of talented, resourceful individuals who play virtually no role whatsoever as citizens. Bringing these people in — with their networks of influence, their knowledge, and their resources — is the key to creating the capacity for shared intelligence that we need to solve our problems."

"As in respect of the first wonder we are all on the same level, how comes it that the philosophic mind should, in all ages, be the privilege of a few? The most obvious reason is this: The wonder takes place before the period of reflection, and (with the great mass of mankind) long before the individual is capable of directing his attention freely and consciously to the feeling, or even to its exciting causes. Surprise (the form and dress which the wonder of ignorance usually puts on) is worn away, if not precluded, by custom and familiarity."

"The dualistic philosophy reigned supreme in Europe, dominating the development of Western science. But with the advent of atomic physics, findings based on demonstrable experiment were seen to negate the dualistic theory, and the trend of thought since then has been back to the monistic conception of the ancient Taoists."

"Under the rule of a repressive whole, liberty can be made into a powerful instrument of domination. The range of choice open to the individual is not the decisive factor in determining the degree of human freedom, but what can be chosen and what is chosen by the individual."

"All economic activity is carried out through time. Every individual economic process occupies a certain time, and all linkages between economic processes necessarily involve longer or shorter periods of time."

"I believe that the main lesson which our generation has learnt is that we must find a new limit for the activities of government, a limit which leaves ample scope for sensible experimentation but which secures the freedom of the individual as the mainspring of all social and political activity. The whole purpose of these lectures has been to suggest that we can find such a limit if we are willing to revive and develop the ancient ideal of the Rule of Law."
