New NES overlays

@meleu : Mega Man 3 ready !
-
@UDb23 awesome!
Just realized that, since you're using original boxart, making a cool image with the original Mega Man boxart can be challenging. :-)

@meleu
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:

@meleu @mediamogul
check this about the Mega Man 1 box art. ;-) -
@UDb23 LOL
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 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).

@meleu do you have any advice for a newbie that wants to play through Mega Man 1 for the first time?
Advice #1
Look at yourself in the mirror and repeat 3 times: "I am a tough guy!" There's no E-tank in this game. And no passwords. If you want to beat the game you have to play from the start (oh! I'm assuming you use retroachievements and hardcore mode enabled. If you use savestates you don't have to be that tough.)
Advice #2
Train your memory. Those parts where there are blocks appearing and disappearing demand a good memory. :-)
Advice #3
There's a "bug" in this game that you can use to your advantage when facing bosses. You know those fractions of a second after the boss take a hit, he becomes invulnerable and blinks? Well, if you hit the boss and immediatly press select (pause) the boss blinks for those fractions of a second and becomes vulnerable again. Yes, it happens even with the game paused!
I mean, if you shoot quickly and pause immediately after the boss is hit, wait a second and unpause, your next shot will cause damage again! And if you do it when using the Elecman's weapon it's a guarantee of success!
OK... It's cheating, but maybe you like to have this ace up your sleeve when facing the Yellow Devil. :-)

That is a crazy bug! Thanks for the tips! I'll see how frustrating the bosses are and as a last resort I might use this...ahem...bug.

and here comes the overlay!!!

Used Japanese Box art... therefore used same style for the logo as original Rockman...but says Mega man ;-)
If anybody dares to ask for the US box art... they'll get a downvote from me :-))
