THE MEGA MAN STORY (from the Instruction Manual)
It's MEGA MAN versus the powerful leaders and fighting forces of Monsteropolis -- that strange multi-faceted land of robot-like Humanoids. Brilliant scientist Dr. Wright conceived the construction of fully-operational human-like experimental robots to perform specific everyday duties. Dr. Wright, and his assistant Dr. Wily, encouraged with their very first near human robot -- MEGA MAN -- proceeded to develop six additional Humanoids, all programmed to perform prescribed rituals:
CUTMAN: Designed to function as a lumberjack. A Powerful saw-toothed Scissorlike instrument protrudes from his head, capable of gnawing through giant forest timbers.
ICEMAN: Impervious to chilling sub-zero temperatures, capable of human like performances under extreme climatic conditions.
GUTSMAN: A bulldozing character capable of lifting and transporting huge boulders.
BOMBMAN: A real "blaster" as a heavy duty laborer who uses intensely powerful explosives to clear lands for Dr. Wright's construction projects.
FIREMAN: Melts and molds metals with flame-throwing torch flaring from atop his head.
ELECMAN: Dr. Wright's electrifying creation -- planned for conducting electrical operations -- even supervising nuclear power plants.
But, with the exception of MEGA MAN, all of Dr. Wright's near-human robot experimentation went awry. Assistant Dr. Wily turned disloyal, re-programming Dr. Wright's Humanoids, now bent on destroying opposition so Dr. Wily could control the world and its resources.
Resisting re-programming, MEGA MAN is chosen the defender of the universe and its inhabitants. MEGA MAN dares to single-handedly penetrate seven separate empires of Monsteropolis, eliminating the leaders and followers of these sovereignties.
Get ready for some very exciting challenges!
