If I look back at all the video games that I enjoyed over the years going back to my first game console (The Mattel Intellevision), and try to pick a favorite game or series, MegaMan clearly comes out on top. It is the single series that thrilled me with the original MegaMan when I was 8 years old. The exact same feeling was there at age 28 when MegaMan made a return from a decade long hiatus with MegaMan 9 just a couple of years ago.

I can't say that about any other game series or character. As I got older, my tastes changed, my preferred game genre's changed. Went from preferring platformers as a child to RPGs in my teens to FPS and fighting games in my 20's. The only constant has been the original MegaMan series, I played and replayed, and still play those games a couple of times a year. Timeless classics that can be played differently every play through. You can choose a different stage order, choose to use different weapons, or any other number of different things to make each session with each title unique.

The music from these games will forever be engrained in my memory, and will always rank among some of the best video games tunes ever composed. It's hard not to hum those themes for days after playing one of those games. Elecman, Flashman, Hardman, Snakeman, Waveman and a few others in particular always come to my mind at random times just for being so memorable and unique.

I have a few other Mega-moments to share, but I'll hold off for the moment an see what direction the topic takes.

Found this when 9 came out:

That was pretty good, made me laugh hard, especially when "Eye of the Tiger" started playing. Thanks for sharing.

I never got into X like I did the classic series. Played the first 5 games and once it was confirmed where Zero came from that was enough for me. Honestly Zero is what makes the X series worth it ironically. My understanding was he was supposed to be Mega Man X originally but Capcom didn't think he looked enough like the classic Mega Man.

Got stuck at an accident scene for 90 minutes this afternoon. This was the second track to come up on my MP3 player when we got going full speed again, seemed appropriate:

Had a dream my dog and I got into a fight with the stray neighborhood cats. Apparently they went Maverick because this was the background music:
