A playthrough of Capcom's 1993 Super Nintendo run-and-gun platform game, Mega Man X.
Capcom's seminal 16-bit Mega Man debut kicked off a brand new series with an edge and style that we hadn't yet dared dream of when it first came out. It was unquestionably an evolution of the classic Mega Man as we knew and loved him, but everything felt new and fresh again. The darker story, the edgier, meticulously detailed sprites, the amazing synth rock soundtrack, and the bevy of power upgrades introduced fit together so impossibly well that it was clear it was a classic the day it launched. It also marks the first appearance of Zero and Sigma, and Wily is nowhere to be found!
MMX was universally praised, and somehow seems to be even more popular now than it ever was in the early 90s. Many would argue that the series never again hit the heights that Capcom achieved here the first time out, and I'd be inclined to agree. The X series features some fantastic titles, but I don't think any of them ever quite nailed it as soundly as the first. X4 was close (imo, for what it's worth), but what Inafune and co. crammed into the tiny 12megabit rom in this cart is nothing short of miraculous.
I played this when I was young, but then who didn't that had access to an SNES? This is not the same version I'm most familiar with, though. We rented the SNES cart many times, and I borrowed it from friends, but I didn't get my own copy until the PC version was released, and I played it to death. It's not quite the same, but it's close :) Still, nothing beats the original, and this is still as good a game today as the hype from 23 years ago promised it would be back then. Quite an achievement, I'd say.
