IMPORTANT UPDATE! As of October 31st, 2020, we now all know the TRUE story of the DOS Mega Man games, thanks to Norman Caruso of The Gaming Historian web show and his interview with Stephen Rozner himself! DEFINITELY check his video out for more details about this game's history because I was working from seriously outdated information when making this video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwt5yWJqCzU ------------------------------------------ This... can't be a real game. Today on Ancient DOS Games, Gemini's taking a look at Mega Man III for DOS, the second Mega Man game to be released on the PC which has nothing to do with the actual Mega Man III released on the NES by Capcom in 1990. Instead, this game was created entirely by Hi-Tech Expressions and released in 1992. This episode covers why this game is utter garbage... oh yeah, there's some recommended DOSBox settings too for the curious or insane. ...granted, now we know this was originally going to be an entirely DIFFERENT game and was basically made in Stephen's spare time... definitely changes the perspective on things a bit so do keep in mind I did not know ANY of that when making this video years ago! :o ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * Here's an interesting page I came across detailing the PC Mega Man games while doing research for this episode. Note that there's a whole bunch of images on this page which may not load properly in some browsers: http://themechanicalmaniacs.com/articles/MMPC.php * Also in a stroke of irony, the box art for the game is ripped right from the NES box art... which depicts Mega Man fighting Spark Man, but Spark Man is nowhere to be seen in this game. :P ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html
