The Blue Bomber Turns 30 Today!

Mega Man came out 30 years ago today and changed video games forever. Happy birthday little buddy and welcome back!

Probably one of my favorite games growing up. Played 2 first, then went back and bought the first one with my own money. (Was still a kid at the time so took a while to save up.)

I've gone back and gotten the ones I hadn't gotten to play, but even doing that, 2 & 3 are still my favorites with a slight lean towards 2.

Mega Man 2 was one of the most perfect platforming games ever made. The music, level design, weapons, pacing... just everything combined into a perfect storm of game design done right.

Megaman has always been amazing. Nothing but love here for the blue boy!

I don't know why, but despite of playing tons of NES back in the day, Megaman somehow passed me by, almost completely. The first game in the series I spent some time with was Mega Man X, and it didn't leave a lasting impression. Oh well, there's always time to get into it.

Happy 30th Mega Man. I've been a fan since the beginning, it's my favorite franchise, and I play the games every year. Here's to another 30!

I like the one where Mega Man accidentally swallows the puzzle piece and the man in the yellow hat has to take him to the vet.

Going to the rental store back in the day always meant me trying to convince my bothers to pick-up Mega Man 2 or 3 - and sometimes they agreed! Here's to the past, and to the future.

Mega Man 2 will always have a special place in my heart. I went back to 6 and realized that game is actually REALLY good. I know people hated it but I don't care!

yeah. i was always a megaman 2 guy. 3 was great but 2 was perfect.

Is it bad that I vividly remember picking up Mega Man 8 on PS1 and seeing it was the 10th anniversary? Almost 20 years have passed since then. I remember picking it up with Mega Man X4, which was also great.

I try not to think of anything past those games and the two Legends games...
