Mega Man 1 is such a beautiful anomoly of a game. So many decisions were made only in this game and were never repeated in any future iteration or spin-off of the series ever again. It's such a product of its time, the original Mega Man is, and I love it for that reason. All the hiccups, glitches, exploits, and weird design choices are things I'd never want to change. It makes it unique and special to me.

I hated Mega Man 1 for how difficult it was as a kid, but it's now my favorite one. It has a pretty good balance in most of its systems once you know the game well. Unlike games like Mega Man 2 where the buzzsaw is OP or later games where all the weapons suck.

Even back in the day, people realized this. If you pay attention (and it sounds like you do!), there are so many intentional parallels between Mega Man 1 and Mega Man X 1. Clever stuff aimed directly at the player, too, like switching it up so that the electric enemy is weak against the ice weapon. On a similar note, I like Time Man and Oil Man, but I wonder what a revised edition of Mega Man 1 would be like with an added Storm Man and... uhh... Sting Man, I guess? XD

You know how unthinkable it would be these days for a game to not have auto-save? That's kinda how developers thought about points in the past. In Capcom's case specifically, though, this was its first console game, so moreso than others, they were very much in the arcade mindset when making it.

Just beating Mega Man 1 is already an achievement in and of itself without trying to get the perfect 1cc run. Though point systems can add an extra layer of challenge, especially for games built around optimization and not simply just trying to survive. Also, spicy hot take, I prefer how arcade games tied lives to score as opposed to most console games which tied them to coins, rings or severed heads. It gave a tangible benefit to playing well and made lives a more important resource.

@@NIMPAK1 [re: your profile picture] I really like the way Gimmick! ties item drops to the digits of the score, which makes paying attention to points worth doing even though it's a linear platformer (particularly, items drop when enemies are killed while the tens and hundreds digit match, with their value determining the item type, on top of points also giving extra lives when one has enough). There's still not a huge incentive to go for the max points possible (there's better ways to grind for lives than just getting a big score if one really wants to, since items can be combined into extra lives) but there is reason for the score system to be there and for the player to care about their score.

Especially if the score can be compared to other people’s scores. Not the same at all but look at most of the main Zachtronics games or Poly Bridge, where the point is to optimize the build, and you can feel good about where you got on the leaderboard. In regards to action games I don’t mind ranks like most sonic games or azure striker gunvolt or something because it’s a measure of proficiency at the game. So long as it’s fair. Super meat boy having time leaderboards also comes to mind. Or the mega man legacy collections and their challenge modes.

The score system is utilised to great effect in Castlevania Rondo of Blood, where each 20k points give an extra lives. When planning a 1cc run, this is really useful and it incentives exploration and beating bosses with minimal damage and subweapon usage. The score also correlates with currency, which can be used to buy boss videos if a player is struggling with patterns. Sonic 3k also effectively utilises points to serve as a motivator for higher levels of gameplay; as if you want a high score you have to both be quick and take minimal damage while collecting maximum rings, which completely flips the game structure on its head and requires a different level of strategy and recontextualises seemingly insignificant aspects of previous level design.

I wouldn’t dismiss score play in games completely, contemporary arcade inspired games bestow a great deal of thoughtful design into score play. Look no further than traditional bullet hells and score based games (hyper demon, killer queen black, etc). I think it’s a shame that an interesting and rewarding scoring system was among the casualties of megaman 1’s rocky development and I’d love to see a rom hack that maybe rebalances and fixes its issues.

This was a great video on a mechanic I never bothered to know more about! When you were showing scans of the first game's US manual, I noticed all enemies seem to refer to their appearances "on the robot masters" rather than their stages. Also not only was the crouch button misleading, but apparently pressing up on the d-pad makes Mega Man jump. AAAAAND the diagram of the controller is actually a Famicom controller, not an NES one! So many things wrong with the US packaging materials. I wonder if it was a new guy at the office doing it.

Good video! Yeah, I never understood Mega Man 1's scoring system. The lack of a high score table made it all the more baffling! I always wondered about the Robot Master clear score. I had a feeling it was random, but never knew for sure. I appreciate all of the information! There actually is a Mega Man 1 hack that puts the gratuitous scoring system to use. A hacker by the name of Magus made a hack where you can trade score (100k, 200k, or 300k) to completely refill your health (like an E-Tank).

The most wild thing to me about this is the bosses giving random score. I had noticed it appeared to be different each time but always assumed it probably had something to do with how I did on the level or fight itself and didn't give it any more thought than that. Why not just make it a set amount - any set amount? To what benefit is randomizng it even if you assumed people cared about score??

A great deep dive into this odd mechanic! I don't think I've really seen it dissected by most youtubers. People really only mention it being bafflingly useless, but I do have several ideas about how it could've been used. The most logical assumption I have is that the team did want to tie your score to some sort of bonus/item shop mechanic, considering those weren't uncommon in Capcom games of that era. Along the way they might have realized such a system would have had a dramatic effect on the game's difficulty and balance and that's why they neutered it into uselessness, or maybe they couldn't polish it properly due to time constraints? Another potential explanation is that the score system would be tied to some sort of real-world contest, like, they would've had players mail their high score to the office and that'd possibly win them a prize. Once again, not exactly something unheard of back in the day. Alternatively, the devs themselves might have used the system for play-testing and marking progress in the stages somehow, or maybe they would compete with each other for fun and ended up not cutting the mechanic because they forgot or couldn't be bothered to do so. Either way, it's all fun to speculate about. Thank you for the quality content!

Also, the sound of the point counter is forever stuck in my brain, and often times in public, I get really weird, cause my paranoia tells me that I'm hearing someone have the same exact sound as their ringtone, and it messed with me.

And the point counter always obscures part of the boss intro music and confused The Wily Wars' composer about what that melody was supposed to be!

thank you for this~ it never struck as too odd but it's nice to know that the score wraps around after the overflow value~

Ahh yes, the KZfaqr that has around 300 subscribers off of 2 videos and uploads one video per half a calender, but the videos are actually really good and make you care about incredibly obscure topics that only the biggest, most dedicated nerds care about Gotta be one of my favorite genders

0:16 If I remember correctly this happens because the game is still calculating your falling speed while standing on movable/temporary platforms when it really shouldn't, so if you fall from them you just drop like a box of Rocks at terminal velocity.

Great video! Felt a lot like a Cybershell video, and believe me, that’s a MASSIVE compliment

Hey dude, I don't usually go through the trouble of commenting on a video, but I enjoyed this so much that I figured I'd give it the good ol' algorithm boost. Your narration is snappy and witty, and the video itself is extremely well paced. I really hope you continue uploading in 2024, because while of course I enjoyed learning about this niche bizarre topic, I really enjoyed your presentation style and would love to see more from you! This was an easy sub for me, and I'm hoping the momentum continues :)

This was not the video I expected. No, this was way, way, _way_ funnier. And also, surprisingly informative in a way I also wasn't expecting. Well done! Also, this gives me a terrible, horrible idea for a stream… "Max Score" run, anyone? (Yeah, like I'm even remotely that good at this game…)
