'''Mega Man''' was the first of many games released in a series of action/platforming titles by [[Capcom]] and created by Keiji Inafune. This title was originally released in December of 1987 on the [[NES|Famicom]]. The first title differs from later sequels in that it contains a point system, no way to save (no passwords or save feature), and only six Robot Masters, as opposed to eight like the rest of the series. | '''Mega Man''', or '''Rockman''' as it is known in Japan, was the first of many games released in a series of action/platforming titles by [[Capcom]] and created by Keiji Inafune.
