Awesome, I follow all these Mega Man people on Twitter, but I don't recall anyone posting about this. Thanks! Here is an interview with Mega Man 1 composer Manami Matsumae! www.themmnetwork.com/2013/02/04/an-interview-with-mega-man-music-legend-manami-matsumae/ She seems very humble, but in my world, she is downright legendary, and deserves credit as one of Megaman's creators. I mean, she created how Megaman games sound. Everyone else who came on after her had a formula to work with, but she made the formula.

Can you die INSTANTLY as soon as you enter a new screen, unable to do ANYTHING? Because that's how it was with the MSX2 version. I don't remember. I was going to pop it in and test it out again, but looks like my Famicom Drive belt died and the motor is just spinning... : ( Not looking forward to replacing that again... That's a bitch and a half. Last time took me about 8 hours... If I remember what I did, maybe 2-3 hours... -Thomas

Wow, that's seriously more than I expected from a game system! Next thing I know you'll tell me it has an engine and cylinders. ...or someone will figure out how to get their car running with nothing more than a Famicom Disk System under the hood.

And now it seems that bosses can be killed almost instantly by allowing them to do collision damage a few times if you have "Shield" magic equipped, but I can't seem to get it to work for Druegar, Dalles, or Darm (and technically Velagunder, but that's just because I don't know how to equip "Shield" magic in that fight)... Man, this bug just continues to blow my mind. EDIT: It works for Velagunder (just need to bring up the warp menu from the previous screen as you enter his room, and then activate it). and it seems like it should work for Druegar, as sometimes your fireballs will pass right through him afterwards, even though he still bounces you around. Dalles and Darm, I'm not sure, but I theorize it doesn't work because they don't actually seem to do collision damage, just projectile/other things. EDIT: Hmm, thinking on it further, the behavior makes some sense. If you have "Shield" magic equipped around normal enemies, they take damage when they try and run into you (not when they use projectile attacks, though). All bosses aside from Dalles and Darm can deal collision damage, so in hindsight, it's not that surprising that it works (though I still wonder why Druegar seemingly isn't killed this way, as he is able to deal collision damage, and the sound effect for it being repelled is played, so...). Obviously though, the developers never expected "Shield" magic to be used for any bosses outside of Darm, so that may account for why their health bar doesn't visibly deplete when this happens. Still quite interesting, IMO. EDIT: As the Twitch video is rather long (and now incomplete with regards to info), here's a video I recorded with Fraps (instead of a webcam) of the main points of interest regarding this set of bugs: Whoa, how did I miss this before?! XD This is awesome! I wonder if something like this could fix the Seer Feena artwork glitch in Ys I-II Eternal Story (PS2), where you can't get her artwork in playthroughs that aren't your first. But I also don't recall whether that game had a boss rush mode... But this is definitely work checking! A bug to bypass a bug.

#22 comes out next Wednesday! The fan art contest winner is printed in #23. I expect Archie's Megaman to go on forever, like their Sonic books.

Red - About that bug, I tried it in PSP Chronicles, and it doesn't work. I think part of the reason why it works for the PC version is because you are allowed instant access to a load screen with just one keypress (granted, in a situation where it shouldn't be allowed - the load option is even grayed out on the normal in-game menu ) - no additional menu work needed. So, unless the PS2 version has something similar, I'm not sure it'd work there. You should test anyway, just to be sure.

Did that happen anywhere near you, Red Hairdo? No. xD Paraná state (PR) is as distant from here as Portugal is from Germany, I'd say. Or so. Man, how odd that was. XD The guys basically keep saying "It rained spiders!", and they were saying how they "never saw this ever before". Someone was saying each one of them was poisonous, too. This video already has a lot of views in a very short time. Any website made it go viral?

I'm trying so hard not to turn S-spam..? into another facebook status space, lol. I know I've done that a lot in the past, and though it's sooo hard not to, I will resist. I just feel so good right now.

That sounds awesome! I'm a sucker for supporting Kickstarter campaigns. Is it too late to play the first two games?
