This is gonna be a beast. MegaMan AC contains the first eight, excruciatingly difficult MegaMan games. I think what I'm gonna do is break this one up - since it's technically eight separate games, I'll play them one at a time and not try to take the whole disc down at once. Since its only one disc, it only counts as one game in my backlog, but if I don't break it up, I might kill something.
I just began MegaMan 1, and it's definitely hard, but not as hard as I remember. The game has infinite continues, so your progress through the six robot masters doesn't fall apart once you lose all your lives. Additionally, once you learn the timing and patterns of each level, they become a cinch - it's just the learning that makes people crazy.
I've got some free time tonight, so I may be able to beat the first one and move on to the second one if I'm up for it.
Let's do it! MegaMan 1 within MegaMan Anniversary Collection for PS2.
