HomeMega ManQuote
"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!"

"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."

"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!”"

"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."

"There is no ethical idea which it [dharma] has not stressed, put in its most ideal and imperative form, enforced by teaching, injunction, parable, artistic creation, formative examples. Truth, honour, loyalty, fidelity, courage, chastity, love, long-suffering, self-sacrifice, harmlessness, forgiveness, compassion, benevolence, beneficence are its common themes, are, in its view, the very stuff of a right human life, the essence of mans dharma. Buddhism, with its high and noble ethics, Jainism, with its austere ideal of self-conquest, Hinduism, with its magnificent examples of all sides of the Dharma, are not inferior in ethical teaching and practice to any religion or system, but rather take the highest rank and have had the strongest effective force."

"Our units of temporal measurement, from seconds on up to months, are so complicated, asymmetrical and disjunctive so as to make coherent mental reckoning in time all but impossible. Indeed, had some tyrannical god contrived to enslave our minds to time, to make it all but impossible for us to escape subjection to sodden routines and unpleasant surprises, he could hardly have done better than handing down our present system. It is like a set of trapezoidal building blocks, with no vertical or horizontal surfaces, like a language in which the simplest thought demands ornate constructions, useless particles and lengthy circumlocutions. Unlike the more successful patterns of language and science, which enable us to face experience boldly or at least level-headedly, our system of temporal calculation silently and persistently encourages our terror of time. ... It is as though architects had to measure length in feet, width in meters and height in ells; as though basic instruction manuals demanded a knowledge of five different languages. It is no wonder then that we often look into our own immediate past or future, last Tuesday or a week from Sunday, with feelings of helpless confusion."

"We must present democracy as a force holding within itself the seeds of unlimited progress by the human race. By our actions we should make it clear that such a democracy is a means to a better way of life, together with a better understanding among nations. Tyranny inevitably must retire before the tremendous moral strength of the gospel of freedom and self-respect for the individual, but we have to recognize that these democratic principles do not flourish on empty stomachs, and that people turn to false promises of dictators because they are hopeless and anything promises something better than the miserable existence that they endure. However, material assistance alone is not sufficient. The most important thing for the world today in my opinion is a spiritual regeneration which would reestablish a feeling of good faith among men generally. Discouraged people are in sore need of the inspiration of great principles. Such leadership can be the rallying point against intolerance, against distrust, against that fatal insecurity that leads to war. It is to be hoped that the democratic nations can provide the necessary leadership."

"James Baker was the only leader in America who had the guts to stand up and act against Israels malignant disease: the settlements. When he was the Secretary of State, he simply informed the Israeli government that he would deduct the sums expended on the settlements from the money Israel was getting from the US. Threatened and made good on his threat. Baker thus confronted the "pro-Israeli" lobby in the US, both the Jewish and the Christian. Such courage is rare in the United States, as it is rare in Israel."
