      @UDb23 Wow! This is awesome!

      This might make @meleu sad but I never got into Mega Man on the NES. I remember renting one of the games but I just didn't like it. Now I have a reason to give them another chance!

      A good friend of my back from my college days wrote a program in BASIC that can generate passwords for just about every Mega Man game from NES, GB and SNES. Here's the site but the download link doesn't work anymore:

              Glad you like it !

              Even if I knew the name, I never played Mega Man series games before discovering Retropie. With all the knowledge I now have about Bosses & weaknesses, I got to try these games !!

              Will start looking at the other titles soon; hoping they don't have so many Bosses ;-)

                If you let me choose the next, I'd say Mega Man 3. :-)

                  Mega Man 3

                  8 Robot masters and 17 Bosses !! They would not fit all...
                  Would just bosses be ok ?

                    Oh yeah, you're right. In Mega Man 3 we have to defeat the "spirit" of the Mega Man 2 bosses in other robots (or maybe the software in another hardware)... Well, OK. Only the robot masters would be nice too. :-) Thanks man!

                        @UDb23 awesome!

                        Just realized that, since you're using original boxart, making a cool image with the original Mega Man boxart can be challenging. :-)

                          I found these; USA and European as original box art.
                          Not having any specific NES knowledge I can't say what was the actual original.

                          1_1494537557252_mm3 usa box.jpg

                          0_1494537557251_mm3 eu.jpg

                          They could be used as launching image and or Scraping image.
                          What was your idea ?

                            The original box art looks like a child's contest submission. Although, the shading on the upper lip must have taken them hours.

                                Ok. You mean next overlay should be the first MEGA MAN ...
                                quite terrible drawing that box art... maybe they had not enough money to pay developers AND a serious artist :-)

                                  Your overlay for Mega Man 3 is perfect! When I said "original Mega Man boxart" I meant "Mega Man 1", the first Mega Man game for NES.

                                  That awful boxart on my previous post is the USA version of Mega Man 1 boxart.

                                  In the actual original (japanese version) it looks better:

                                      note: I've originally posted a wrong image on my previous post. Fixed with the correct image (Rockman).

                                          @meleu I was looking for the image on the web right now... found the one you fixed.

                                          Also this was the EU version:

                                            Nothing to do with NES but "mame crap" made me cry (with laughter) even more a few days ago. :-D
