Community reaction:

  • Marty:

The greatest retro game of all time. Full stop.

  • togobap

@Marty especially on the TurboGrafx 16

  • HeyItsChad!

I mean it’s the best one of the entire series also best intro music

 

  • Adrock

 

By far my favorite MM. iconic music, easily the best soundtrack of all of them. Maybe shouldn’t say by far because MM3 is close behind

 

  • Spidershan

 

Only got a chance to beat the robot masters this week but I always like returning to this game. I was never as good as my friend but I remember watching him play it to completion. I think the first time I beat it was with a Game Genie. I finally beat it years later without the help. Now I am using save states so I guess I’ve gone full circle. rofl The music is spot on and some of the most memorable at the time (next to Mario and Zelda). I have a hard time deciding if I like this one or Mega Man 3 better.

Roll the dice for next week (which will really be 2 weeks because of GOTY30 next week)
