Mega Man Soccer came out on SNES before Mega Man 7?

I can't see the picture.

One of these days somebody's gonna make of these for Bomberman.

I have never seen a single picture actually physically rape my computer until today.

Thanks for sharing. It's always neat to see all of the releases listed like this.

I have a copy of the Mega Man and Mega Man 3PC games, that came with a PC version of Street Fighter 2 stashed back at home. Now that I think about it, I'm fairly sure it had an "Oil Man" before Mega Man Powered Up. I also remember them being insanely difficult and no where near as great as the "real" Mega Man games.

It frightens me that there exists LCD Mega Man games.

That's a good sign you're young. There were LCD games for every popular game.

I used to have so many f'ing LCD games.

It was fine for the Disney movies, but Mega Man LCD? How does that even work? Did they use symbols to show which Power-up Mega Man was currently using?

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #11 on:** August 04, 2009, 09:01:53 PM »

What power-ups?
Also I have the Star Trek: The Next Generation LCD game too. You can destroy Romulan Warbirds with a single phaser blast.

TV Themes, no offense, but... what are you like, 10 years old? Have you ever actually played an LCD game? Really, I just sincerely can't comprehend. I'm just really curious.

Glorb · « **Reply #13 on:** August 05, 2009, 03:11:59 PM »

I owned The Little Mermaid, Pitfall, Street Fighter II, and a couple other LCD games as a kid. For the longest time, those were my only video games.

Being poor is cool until you realize everyone else has better stuff than you ever will.

Yes, I've owned Aladdin. And I am very much an adult (even though I rarely act like one).

I just ask: How does Mega Man's power-up system work on an LCD game? (I am assuming we are talking about the Tiger electronic versions)

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #15 on:** August 05, 2009, 08:26:05 PM »

Like I said, I don't think he has Weapon Copy in those games.

LCD were at its best with the Tamagotchi and Giga Pet fads. They also subsequently killed LCD handheld gaming.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #17 on:** August 05, 2009, 08:55:38 PM »

1. Wrong
2. Possible

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2009, 09:37:08 PM »

Virtual pets were an interesting swan song for LCD games, but that tech sure as heck wasn't going to be sticking around much longer no matter what came out for it.

Wait, come to think of it, I bought a bonafide LCD game not too long ago: this

LCD 4 Ever

Forest Guy · « **Reply #19 on:** August 05, 2009, 11:08:26 PM »

I still think some of the better LCD games to come out were in the Game & Watch line. Games like Climber and Super Mario Bros. were incredibly in depth for a tiny little LCD game.

Tv_Themes · « **Reply #20 on:** August 06, 2009, 08:19:23 AM »

I don't care what people say, in 1998 Virtual Pets kicked rear and were all over the place.

Nano's, Tamagotchi, Digimon (they originated in America as Virtual Pets), Giga Pets, everyone had one. I had a Frog.

I thought they started in Japan as a Japanese anime cartoon.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #22 on:** August 06, 2009, 11:26:04 AM »

12 seconds of research reveals that they were created in Japan with the idea of "Tamagotchi for boys" and made by the same company, Bandai.

CrossEyed7 · « **Reply #23 on:** August 06, 2009, 03:35:34 PM »

Tamagotchis weren't for boys? I feel emasculated now.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #24 on:** August 06, 2009, 06:42:54 PM »

I had one, and I think by the time the second one died I hated the concept so bad I never looked at it again.

I had a Digimon, the Jurassic Park one, and a street brawler (real name is escaping me) ones that could connect together to "battle". I probably played with them all a total of a week before not playing with them anymore. It very quickly turned into a chore instead of a game. Almost like having a real pet!

bobman37 · « **Reply #26 on:** August 06, 2009, 11:25:41 PM »

I had a digimon and a tamagotchi. The digimon was fun to train and evolve and bring it to recess at school. I would find someone else with a digimon, hook them up to initiate battle, and then run across the playground and watch the fight.

I remember our neighbors had stolen one of my siblings' tamagotchis at some point. When we tried to get it back, the kid had a Reese's or something, and he goes "I ate your tamagotchi!" and showed us the Reese's in his mouth. I believed it so hard that as I remembered that story just now, I still felt a tiny twang that he really ate the tamagotchi.
