Mega Man (1990) – The Blueprint for Action Platforming The original Mega Man, released in 1990 for many international players, is a true pioneer in gaming. With its tight controls, innovative stage select system, and unforgettable soundtrack, it set the standard for 2D platformers. Each Robot Master brought a unique challenge, and the weapon-copying mechanic was revolutionary at the time. This wasn’t just a test of reflexes—it was a game that rewarded experimentation, precision, and strategy. The difficulty was tough but fair, making victory all the more satisfying. The pixel art, catchy music, and responsive gameplay are iconic to this day. As the origin of one of Capcom’s most beloved franchises, the original Mega Man deserves a permanent spot on GOG. Its historical value is undeniable, and having a DRM-free version optimized for modern systems would preserve a piece of gaming history while allowing new players to experience its retro brilliance.
