Megaman CD

Yeah, Megaman 2 is in the plans. But it won't be as simple; it's large rom and so I need to break it down into level loads.

For right now, I'm concentrating on MM1. The sprites are being upgrades to 16bit (I have a WIP that does this for some the sprites already), as well as the BG tiles graphics. Gonna add some simple parallax and such type of effects to the game. Support for 6button with extended features for the added buttons, slide move from later games, and other small upgrades.

I actually wanted to build up the MM1 engine, to support to the later MM 3-6 games. That way I wouldn't have to hack each game for the upgrades. I'll just create a level editor and import assets from other games.

Wow all the upgrades sound amazing if you get get them added! I cant wait.

Mega Man 1 is one of my favorite games from the NES days. I had a Master System but I borrowed my friends NES and Mega Man 1 all the time. I never could beat the game with out the pause trick but I still loved it.

It worked great.

I played some more last night again on easy and completed half the game. Are you going to do mega man 2?

SCD stands for "Super CD", which is a PC Engine CD format. Unfortunately, there is no Sega-CD version.

Finally, seems like there will be a proper Megaman 1 on the 16 bit systems.
Somehow i had never played the original Megaman, even though i love 2, 3 and 4. So, last week i decided to fire it up on the Genesis.
Initially i was liking it, but something seemed off gameplay wise. I was liking the music and graphics a bit, though, but the moment i saw my Genesis slowdown with whats an 8-bit game, action wise, i turned it off. So i decided to fire up the NES version...now, this is what i am talking about, now the gameplay felt right, and couldnt put it down, until i finished a couple hours later. Now i hate the Genesis port, mostly because it gives me the feeling of being a bit broken gameplay wise.
So i loved MM1, and reading about all the improvements that Tom has in store for his version, i will gladly play trough it again.
Have you guys seen the improved Megaman sprite that Tom is working on?, its awesome!

Ah thank you, thought it was segacdv1.01, thanks for correction.

saturndual32: Yeah, same here. I was pretty excited to play Wily Wars after hearing about, but was pretty disappointed when I got to try it out. The colors and graphics were nice, but the controls felt off/different. I don't get the reason for slowdown either. The game engine doesn't appear to be a straight port either; looks like they made it from scratch.

Vector: Yeah, SCD has always been the abbreviation for SuperCD, since as long as I can remember. It's only of the pass 5 years or so, that I've seen it used for 'SegaCD' (and usually only this board).
