I haven't been a gamer for a long time, but I still have fond memories from my childhood of powering through NES and Super NES games. One of my favorites was always Mega Man. I owned the first and despite it being known as the uber-tough one, I mastered it simply because it was one of the few games I owned. I didn't own 2 and 3, but I rented both of them often enough that I might as well have owned them. I never played any more on the NES, but those first three were always among my favorite games, both for the game play and for the amazingly catchy music.
I came across this on youtube the other day and my jaw dropped. It is fantastic! I was instantly a child again. If you enjoy Mega Man at all, you will love this. Turn it up or get out a good pair of headphones.
By the way, @schattenjaeger has been playing through the Mega Man X games lately. I've been enjoying his posts about his playthrough. You might too. Go check them out.
