Yes, there’s a new article on the US Box Continuity. It goes into obsessive detail on the entire story as described by the boxes and manuals of the classic series including Megaman 9.
Speaking of which …
The Megaman 10 boss roundup is:
Blademan, Strikeman, Solarman, Chillman, Commandoman , Sheepman, Nitroman , and Pumpman.
Poor Blademan. Now he’s no better than Waveman.

Well, it’s been a while since I updated the site. I hope you’ve all been enjoying the holidays as much as I have. Mostly it’s been quiet. I’ve been spending this time at home, but this year we’re all watching various DVDs and sitting by the fireplace. Very old fashioned, but very nice. I stuck a bunch of used dental floss and ear cleaners and some old scrap pieces of paper into a toilet paper tube (three of them) and watched it burn. My garbage burns brightly!
We watched Watchmen (Extended version, which my Mom hated. A LOT. The Spirit, which my Dad loved to pieces. District 9 which everyone enjoyed. And Julie and Julia, which was not really my type of movie, but alright nonetheless. All the movies, except for the Julie one were Christmas presents.
So happy 2010, everyone! It’s hard to believe 2009 is just a memory. But it is. Now we have a whole new year to write as we choose. So let’s write something nice.

And we’re back! While the holidays offers a lot of downtime it’s actually a very busy time anyway. But the long wait is not without any good Christmas treats. And so I bring you an overly detailed summation of an extremely obscure Megaman book: The Official Guide to Megaman! They don’t make books like this anymore.

One thing I couldn’t figure out until now was how to get the music from Rockman Strategy. Until now. This zip contains every single music track in the entire game converted to MP3 format. Sadly I can’t figure out which song is for whom. Still, they are all there for your listening pleasure. Maybe one day someone will come to me with a list or something.

Yes, I’m actually referring to the ‘Moment from oh so long ago. I’ll be few of you suspected I’d be willing to.

Oh my, it looks like something broke there.
This is one update long in the making. Made in Flash CS4, which is atrociously slow. So slow that it stalled this video for many, many months. A recent update made it fast enough to use and, after I got it, finished this within mere weeks. Although this was made in Flash, large, LARGE use of bitmaps made parts of this choppy on the first run. So I converted it to an avi for viewing. Incidentally, this is the “secret project” I mentioned on Deviant Art a while back.
A tribute to one of the last games in the entire Megaman series that probably deserves it: Megaman 3 PC. Misfits and Mistakes. Regular and Meatwad versions.

And the plot points just get brushed away with a casual disregard.

Yes, the ‘Maniacs Moments shall continue, even in the face of a real update!
Yes, it’s the last of my pirate game backlog. It took 5 segments, but we are finally throught he woods on these pirate games.
7 in 1 – Featuring a whole bunch of …. gameboy games?
Megaman & Bass – I’ve included the real box here as well. The pirates did a passable job with this one – even copying the Nintendo seal of quality! – but I don’t remember Zero ever being in this game. Evidently it’s a “Bass-xtreme” situation that only Megaman Bass can resolve! I guess the translators didn’t know what the ampersand symbol means.
Rockman “Game” – Yeah, so this one has no name. But it’s apparently Rockman World 1.
Megaman Battle Network 5 Team Protoman – Found on Protodude’s blog. Now, just look at it and try to spot the mistake.
13 in 1 – Despite the Megaman and Bass art and the Battle Network art, this multicart onlt has classi series games. False advertising on a pirate game? Say it ain’t so!
Super 6 in 1 – Yeah, another one. It looks like a better repackaging of the first Super 6 in 1. I didn’t know Protoman and Bass surivied to the X timeline….
5 in 1 – Look out, Wily! Megaman’s gonna kill you!!! Where are your predacious rules now, Asimov?!
and, finally …
Megaman Soccer (PC) – Megaman … Soccer? Of all the SNES Megaman games they could have stolen, they went with … Megaman Soccer? And with that box art!?
And that ends Pirate Mania. At least for now. But the next time there are crappy Megaman pirate games …. I’ll be there! Be sure to check out all of the pirate games articles for the archives of Pirate Mania and past piratey “goodness”.
