Do you remember Mega Man?

Capcom released the Mega Man series in 1987 with the NES game Mega Man.

Dr. Light crafted a human-like robot with the purpose of defending the world against the malicious actions of Dr. Wily and his army of defiant mechanical beings.

As a thrilled gamer, I engage in epic battles against an array of Robot Masters, each with unique themes that keep the gameplay fresh and exciting. With every triumph, I collect their extraordinary weapons, enhancing my own arsenal to conquer even greater challenges ahead.

This strategic style of play and the high level of difficulty made the series popular.

The appearance of many Mega Man sprites evolved noticeably, as you can see, from their NES version to the one on Genesis.
