But not the stages!

good controls that never really changed after all these years :-) I love me some mega man

The AVGN always said the most important aspect of any game is being able to fucking play it, and Mega Man makes it so easy to play a caveman can do it.

16. The running rock paper scissors order actually works, unlike 2 and 3. That always pissed me off. That was such a step backwards for such forward moving games.

Also, fuck that boss rush. That was the hardest part of the whole game.

easy smooth clean and simple just the way i like it

And that is the beauty of old school games. Minimal buttons for simple controls, which in Mega Man's case weren't jerky or slippery (except for Ice Man's stage, haha).

2 buttons and a d-pad; not slippery and no moon jumping. I approve.

It's what made the entire game work.

Jump N' Shoot!!!

and thats the real reason we love it

Spot on from day 1, kudos to Capcom for setting such a prescient.
