Made it to Jet Man...holy shit...the Mega Buster does so little damage compared to the MISSLES he fires. Definitely beatable without a special though, just got overwhelmed with it being the first encounter.
EDIT: Just beat Jet Man! 1 down, 7 to go

After trying all the stages numerous times (except for Rainbow Man's), it seems Jet Man's and Nail Man's stages are the most accessible and I was able to beat those 2 so far, although Nail Man was quite the pain in the ass compared to Jet Man. I just made it to Comet Woman, but was destroyed right quick. I'm calling it a night and will try again tomorrow night.

Threw a few hours at this last night.
Started off with Trinitro Man, those lava launch pads are INSANE! Especially the parts with the spikes at the top of the level. I don't know if I can do this stage without Rush Jet!
Tried out Jet Man's stage too, seems much more doable that Trinitro.
I'll keep at it though.

Just a curiosity, is there any way that anyone knows of to transfer this to any kind of console?

Okay the platypus mini bosses in Glue Man's stage become easy chumps if you use nail shield. Whisper it would be crazy rad if we could play this on an NES cart but I'm happy with just my PS1 Dual Shock and my smart Joy.

Got passed Nail Man's level. Then beat Trinitro Man using RJ to get me through the bonkers lava parts!
Awesome job man! Just beat Yo-Yo Man. three down and four to go!

Yeah, no loading times and CD quality music...that would be awesome.
I think the only game that didn't come out for Arcade CD was King of the Monsters 2. Working Designs mentioned they were working with a build before the project got scrapped.

Nice work boys! I'm still sitting at 6 to go, but I'll have at it again tonight.

While I appreciate that stuff like this gets made, I don't understand why everybody wants their retro platformer to look like a NES game. Mega Man 8 is visually breathtaking, for example. Why don't they ever want their games to look like that? I love high-end, stylish sprite art, as seen in most of the Neo-Geo library, or games like Castlevania: SoTN or Elevator Action Returns. If this game looked more like that, I'd be much more interested.

Megaman 8 and 7 are highly regarded as the worst of the original series by classic fans. Which I agree on. There is a lot more to playing Megaman than Hi Res sprites. I'm pretty sure most hardcore Megaman fans prefer the 8-bit treatment. Can't speak for everyone but that's how I feel. Plus this game is amazing I suggest you give it a try you may be surprised.

Oh, I'm sure this game is awesome, and I'd like to give it a try. I'm just a little over the 8-bit aesthetic and I wish we'd see something that looked a bit more colorful and flashy. And for what it's worth, I love Mega Man 8. I truly think it's awesome. Not the best game ever, but it looks and sounds awesome, and really pushes your skills (particularly those snowboarding areas!) Plus the voice acting is delicious.
I agree that 7 is an ugly piece of shit, though. That said,though, I haven't spent much time with it. It might be really fun to me, who knows?

^^ this 100%
7 and 8 were the worst in gameplay. Sure the sprites were drawn pretty, but I could never stomach the run animation. Always felt like he was sliding around. The levels were not as clever in platform-puzzle solving as well.
There has been demakes of those two as well for he PC, made to look like the NES games and which improves on some of the level design by cutting out some of the redundant parts.
Makes those games more tolerable IMO.

Is anybody else getting choppy horizontal scrolling? (Maybe vertical, too, but I didn't play long enough to find out.) I'm using fullscreen.

I don't think anyone here has had the problem, but I have read about it online with some pc configs. There is a second download link on the MegaPhilX MMU page that is a beta build for people having problems with the original. It might be worth taking a look at for you. Good luck!

Ah, I see what you mean, the versions for both download links 1 & 2 have been updated to the same version. Sorry about not checking back first.

Well, two possible fixes happened over the past number of hours for me.
1. The game might not like being booted up in windowed mode (the default), switched to fullscreen, and then played immediately. You might have to close the game and then open it up again, but when you open it again, it will boot up in fullscreen from the start and have no problem with it. (I only ran the game once before this morning.)
2. The power went out last night, so my computer restarted. You might have to restart your computer, too. This sometimes happens with games. I know the recent Steam version of Jet Set Radio was like this.
