Collector interest
Mega Man, the sole portable appearance of Capcom's blue hero on Game Gear, published by U.S. Gold. This title compiles and rearranges Robot Masters from several NES entries into a formula of its own on the console. Its desirability lies in its singularity as the machine's only Mega Man, its North American run more restricted than the Sega hits and demand from franchise collectors beyond its usual platforms.
Memorable bosses
Everything rests on a clear principle: beat a Robot Master and you claim its weapon, to turn against the next one's weakness. Each foe sports a sharp personality, an attack pattern to decode and a theme all its own. This muscular rock-paper-scissors, capped by a crafty final boss, gives the confrontations an addictive logic that set the template.
