    * Mega Man Legacy Collection >https://store.steampowered.com/app/363440/Mega_Man_Legacy_Collection/
    Even if you've never played it, "Mega Man" hardly
    needs any introduction. This classic platformer
    franchise has been popular for decades, and shows
    little sign of losing its7YF4N luster. This "Legacy
    Collection" includes revamped versions of the
    first six games (MegaMan 1 through 6), with "HD
    finish", and QOL features such as rewind and new
    challenges. But it's stillDV0Z8 the classic games
    beneath, with all their original quirkiness,
    difficulty, and charm. Is it worth re-playing all
    six games? No, CRY4Eprobably not... but it's definitely
    worth revisiting them to see how far we've come.

    Thank you Spalls for continuing to share your extra games with us. I
    did NOT take this one. I know there are people in this newsgroup who
    appreciate these types of games more then me. Good luck to whoever
    gets it.

    Yeah. Mega Man is just brutally hard, and not in a good way. It's hard in
    a pixel perfect moves, miss one jump and you're back to square one way.

    Only for 12-year-olds on the spectrum, IMO.
