      How could I leave you without ?

      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.

                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

                                    I'm crying (with laghter) looking at this image after reading that letter ordering the art:

                                    "Let's give some focus to Mega Man blasting away at a robot's genitals. (...) Like everyone, Mega Man hates robot reproductive organs. (...)
                                    Make sure he's looking at the genitals. EXTREMELY important."

                                      @UDb23

                                      I'm in straight up awe at some of those Mame attempts. Words fail completely.

                                        @UDb23 Just arrived in home and tried to install the Mega Man 3 overlay and noticed a problem with a double quote symbol in info.txt. Submitted a PR fixing it.

                                        Here's the screenshot:

                                          @meleu Ops..again. Should re-check files before uploading.
                                          It's not an excuse but it's because this time I used the Macbook for doing the ovl while the program to automatically generate the CFGs is on my PC.
                                          Therefore manual editing of the files...and error...

                                          Merged now.

                                          Anyway, screenshot looks quite well to me; also the color combination with the actual game (of course it may be different on other levels... as said I didn't know these games).

                                            Great looking overlay @UDb23 ! I think when you finish the Mega Man 1 overlay, I will give this franchise another shot (since I've never beaten a Mega Man on the NES). @meleu do you have any advice for a newbie that wants to play through Mega Man 1 for the first time?
