How did you get into Mega Man and what game did you start?

[LlamaHombre]

My first Megaman classic game was 9, which I started playing when I was 10.
First X game was Just two weeks ago due to lack of money and time... with X1.
First Battle Network game was BN3 when I was 5.

I first played MM1 when I was about 8. Thing is, this was in 1994, so by this time MM6 and MMX were out, but I had no idea.

I'm glad I started with the first one, coz I got the NES pretty late (when it was dwindling) but I'm glad I did because it's my fave console of all time. I played MM1-3 and MMX and X4 in my childhood, but the only one I ever clocked was MMX4 (I was 12 by this point). I got stuck before Yellow Devil on MM1, stuck on the wall laser dome bomb thing boss in MM2, and the last two Doc Robot stages in MM3.

I'm glad I found the emulators in 2009, because it not only let me relive the classics (and finally beat them) but to also play the ones I never got to play. Ha ha ha, my childhood dream came true! When I was a kid, I wished that in future I could play any NES game I wanted for free (and SNES or even Sega if I wished). Kudos to my kid-self, the dream came true! lolol.

My brother had emulated all 6 NES games. I would watch him play it a lot.
Eventually I tried it out myself. I instantly fell in love.

I think I played 5 first. Not sure, but I tried all the others afterward so it doesn't really matter.

Scary how we started with exactly the same games LlamaHombre. Although I was a bit older when I got mmbn3...

i played megaman 7 at a friends house once.
at first i thought "megaman? that sounds cheesey and lame"
then i was like "holy crap this is amaaazing!"
i loved the character designs, even though i only ever saw the first 4 robot masters back then, i didn't see the rest until a few years later.
i couldn't beat a single boss but i loved playing it and i was determined! i managed to finally beat cloudman with the aid of a lot of e-tanks.
i only beat it 4 years ago thanks to the rise of emulators

My first one was actually a flash game from that Newgrounds site.
I played it back in 2002, and then quickly grew really interested, especially after watching some of the flash movies that people made of the series.
I didn't play an actual Megaman game 'till 2007 though, which was the very first one.

The earliest I can recall meeting the "Blue Bomber" for the first time was at my local dentist's office when I was 7, where I played a copy of Anniversary Collection. All I can remember was playing MM1, choosing Cut Man's stage...and landing in a pit of spikes after being hit by one of those propeller enemies.  Some years later, after my discovery of ROMs and emulators, my love of the series was fully established.

Well, I once found this weird emulator game that had 71 NES games in it. Two of them were MM2 and 1.

I was 6 or 7 and my cousin had MM1. I remember playing Guts Man's stage and thinking that it was the hardest thing imaginable what with the moving platforms that dump you, and that clearly this was a game for big kids and serious gamers.

The only way I found out about Megaman is through MKF. I just entered World 3 and went "WTF IS THIS". Played around, thought its was pretty awesome, searched "Megaman" and found out about the series. As of now, I have MM2, 3, 9, and 10. Thank you, MKF.

I don't remember how exactly I got into it. But I believe the first game I played was Megaman 2. I always started with Crashman, even though I could rarely ever beat him the first few times I played. I don't know why, I hardly ever tried anyone else first. Maybe it was because of the music? Or the first few parts of the stage was just fun to me? (once the birds show up, my stress valve always immediately began to boil.) I don't know. But later I began to occasionally play Megaman 3 and 5. With 3, I don't know who I usually used to start with. It was either Gemini Man or Magnet Man. I just remember usually going through both of them. Oh, and sometimes Snake Man. In 5, I always, always went to Star Man first. Then Gravity Man, and I never really got much farther than that. (Not that I couldn't beat Gravity Man, I just never really progressed.) I also began to play 4 a lot more often than 3, always going to either Pharaoh Man or Dive Man's stage first.

Only game I'd really actually beat was Megaman 2. I never even touched Mega Man 6. Still haven't, but soon will. I had only played Megaman 1 once until recently. Thought it was too hard or something. (That game IS pretty difficult at some points.)

My friend that used to live near me, he was known for buying every nintendo game that comes out, came to my house one day and we where playing gameboys and I noticed he had megaman xtream (storm eagle was the most memorable one for me) and I played it for a while, after he left to go home, he accidently left his megaman xtream 2 game and I played it for about a week. Never beaten it (I used a ROM and tried to face sigma's final form with a invincability gameshark code, all I have to say is, HOW THE HECK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BEAT HIM!!!) And thats pretty much how I got into megaman

Nonsense! When you're young your brain is ready to learn. It's the best time to get used to hard ass video games. In today's world all you get is easy 3d cover based shooters, and any time a tough as nails indie game shows up it gets shoved in favour of gears of halo black ops

Rockman Zero 2, when I discovered it in my VisualBoyAdvance folder for no apparent reason.
