It's been a while since I've posted on this blog but I just felt the need to vent my frustrations on this particular issue. I've recently discovered The Megas. an excellent band who write songs based on the MegaMan series of games, and I've learnt that there's a very rich history surrounding the games. So as I've only completed a couple of the games in the series (2 and 3) I decided to relive my youth with a NES emulator.
Starting right at the beginning I instantly remembered how bloody hard these games were. I struggled through all the levels, collecting all the robot master weaponry, and preparing for the final battle with Dr Wiley. I started battling my way through his fortress and suddenly find myself face to face with a tall narrow corridor and no obvious way of ascending.
At this point I was stuck so I turned to my great friend Google for advice and what did I find?... You need to collect a Magnet Beam ability, which for some absurd reason is just sitting around in Electric Man's level unlike all the other abilities that you have to battle robot masters for!!! Why make that ability different to collect than any others in the game? And why make it so that it's a requirement of a later stage in the game but you can miss it during the level and then can't go back and collect it again afterwards!!!
So I still haven't completed all the MegaMan games. Think I'll just stick to the music. So cool!
