I've been playing Mega Man games my whole life, but I've only ever beat a couple of em.
That's changing this year, as I'll be beating the entire Mega Man classic series, on original hardware where I can manage it.
Mega Man 1-3 down, and started on 4 this evening.

Interplay 1 also has the honor of containing the (currently) 655th best NES game according to @jeffgerstmann.com : Battle Chess.
Course elsewhere on the platform we've also got number 16, Blaster Master. And number 26, RC ProAm. Even number 1, Mega Man 2 if we count discontinued hardware built-ins.

Feel free to do it when you know something you might not wanna see is going around. But also just consider it forever.

Welp, it's Xmas Eve Eve, so my timing is impeccable as always.
Wouldn't it be great if you could share gift ideas with your friends and family on atproto instead of locking into Amazon or making an account on some rando site? Maybe by this time next year it'll be a thing.
Here's an early demo gif.

Got my Hand-Drawn Game Guides: Mega Man yesterday. Some real dope art in this.
Put my Dr. Wily sticker on my Evercade Alpha MM Edition...even though the book seems to neglect to mention Evercade EXP and Super Pocket as places you can play Mega Man 1.

Really gotta get those posting numbers up next year, this is embarrassing.
Started off 2025 with good intentions but spent most of my energy on unhinged blog posts so I didn't have any time left for unhinged microblog posts. Lesson learned.

And it was all worth it cause when I got back that run was a success!
![My NeoGeo Super Pocket playing Roguecraft DX still. I completed the run so it's on the "Awesome!" game over screen.
Screen reads:
Congratulations! You've completed Roguecraft DX!
Score: 042503

Kills: 267
Chests: 81/109
Secrets: 3/15

Roguecraft DX would be the perfect pick-up-and-play Evercade game for taking with you on a Super Pocket if you could suspend runs.
Even without that it's an excellent game that plays great on the go. Just sometimes I don't have an hour uninterrupted and feel back abandoning or sabotaging good runs.

I can think of way better ways to spend $45,000,000,000.00 than building concentration camps.
Like buying each resident of the US 100 tacos. And you'll still have 11,000,000,000.00 left over in case anyone wants guac.
