Fun Stuff

Trivia:
In Korea, Rockman was once known as "Mecha-Man" to avoid lawsuits with the creators of a 1970s Korean TV show that was named "Rockman". But later, eventually, most versions released throughout Asia all became known as Rockman, because that title was more well known than "Mecha-Man" or "Mega Man". more

A good start for a well known franchise., 8 January 2002
Author: dootuss from PA

This was the begining of a major video game franchise. Dr.Light makes 8 robots each of which has its own special ability. Then his assistant Dr. Wily reprograms 6 of them, and makes them do evil. Thus one of the 8 robots of Dr. Light Rock becomes Mega Man, whose new duty is to defeat the evil robots, and then defeat Dr. Wily himself. This game was the begining of one of the longest running video game franchises in the world, not to mention one that would have over 20 sequels! This game will go down in history as one of the best ever!
