Developed by Capcom, Rockman: Mega World arrived on the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive in 1994 as a platformer.
It landed about 5 years into the Genesis's life. Other notable Genesis releases from 1994 include Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Mortal Kombat II and FIFA International Soccer.
It is part of the Mega Man series; on the Genesis you can also try Mega Man: The Wily Wars. The series also appears on other systems with Mega Man (NES) and Mega Man 2 (NES). Capcom also made Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, Ghouls 'n Ghosts and The Punisher for the Genesis.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

What playing Rockman: Mega World is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
