It’s an update spectacular here at the Mechanical Maniacs!
First up is Raijin’s log of the ‘Maniacs Meet of 08. What was certainly our favorite event of the week has been chronicled in a way only Raijin knows how, so check it out. Also up is the gallery for this year’s meet up.
But that’s not all!
What, I’m sure is, a long-awaited update for all … my very own article on the Megaman 2 Tiger game! Which includes some stupidly high-rez scans of the game with very bad art. Sadly, due to the game not being like MM3, there’s not a high-rez version of the “sprite sheet”, however I did splice together a reasonably okay scan of the sheet and put it on top of my scan. I’ve also added scans of the manuals for both this game and MM3 Tiger.
And, speaking of Megaman 2, another article about the game is up. This time about the Megaman 2 book! Yeah, it had a book and, actually, it’s been available for download here for ages. But now a proper article is up and details the book in obsessive detail only I, and possibly IHZ, could do.
But that’s not all my friends. Oh, no, there’s yet another article on the homebrew Famicom remake of Rockman 7 detailing things many members of the community already know about, but also … HOW TO CHEAT. Which is the only way to play, as far as I’m concerned.
Which connects to some revisions done to the MM PC games article … not a very big addition, but a worthy one. Namely that connecting the games to a joypad program makes them a WHOLE LOT BETTER TO PLAY. I’ve also uploaded the download files, for the first time ever, removing the MoSlow program entirely and putting in minor revisions to the instruction guide. I’ve also added some box art of the games to the page, as well as a bit of story from the Street Fighter 2 port which …. actually details the story from MMPC1 and 3 pretty nicely. Also added an ancient manual writeup that used to be on the Megaman Network.
Amazingly, there’s even more to come … same Bat-time (maybe), same Bat channel!
