In a world where people take 16-bit games and scale them down to 8-bit... one programmer wondered, "can we go even further?" Thus was born... the Atari demake.
@@buttering0 Keyboard, you mean? Not a lot of the era's home computers came with keypads. And I can see it, easy. IJKL for movement, Z shoot, X jump, ENTER to bring up the weapons, and ESC to pause and bring up the "quit game?" menu. As for floppy disks, I'm not sure it would need more than one. Playing on tape, now, that would be bonkers.
A lot of the unique level design for this is genuinely better than the original, showcasing hazards in safe ways before forcing you into dangerous scenarios with it, forcing you to interact with the mechanics before moving on, etc. Whoever made this did a very very good job not only on making it authentic, but improving it where they could in well thought out ways that make it play better.
This Plants vs zombies in Atari 2600 by Capcom and Popcap games corporation. The plants are 32 plants. Peashooter, sunflower, wall nut and potato mine and others is.
if this game released for the atari back in the 70's and 80's this would without a doubt be the best atari 2600 game ever created, and also probably a monster to control.
I love how they basically fixed all the problems of the NES game in this. Level design and boss fights are much better (especially Wily Stage 4) and even the interface is improved.
From what I understand, people hate the Boobeam Trap so much that many rom hacks end up making it _easier_ rather than harder. This one is no exception, and I like how it was handled here.
Great play through for an amazing game! Takes 2 as a basis, but makes it more than it was. Introduces new challenges in non-insta-kill ways, then ramps up difficulty like a proper Mega Man game would. Egorapter would be proud. People in the "Make a good Mega Man level" should take note.
That was awesome. They even fixed the flash stopper so you don't waste the whole thing. If this really came out for the Atari 2600 it would have put everything else to shame and been the best Atari game ever.
@@UltimateWahee still it's pretty impressive, but in reality it's impossible because of what you said... atari didn't had more than 1 button and the stick is unconfortable to play with
Let's see. Music is good. Minibosses not found in the original. Fixes some of the fake difficulty, such as having enemies spawn in the Buebeam Trap battle to give you ammo. I'd say this is better than the original.
Brazencoronet17 underrated? That ability is basically essential in the majority of the wily base boss fights. (It’s the only ability that can actually defeat dr. Wily himself)
@@illgo6768 Alien doesn't get damaged by anything but Bubble Lead, so I really don't count that. Bubble Lead is kind of useful for seeing pits in Wily Stage 4 (a design I'm personally not fond of because it was taught poorly). Picopico-kun's weakness is Bubble Lead, but Metal Blade is debatably better at killing it. And Heat Man is weak to the Bubble Lead, but I personally use the Mega Buster instead because the Bubble Lead ricochets off of Heat Man's fire pillars, which is a lousy design. So the Bubble Lead is only arguably useful at three points in the game. Truly an awful weapon. P.S. How is one boss (Alien) the majority of the Wily-based bosses? The only other Wily-based boss is Wily Machine 2.
I am actually surprised to see an unused met generator appear in the game and functions really well, it was supposed to appear in crash man's stage but did not. Cool
Hmm. Imagine for a moment, if the Atari is where MegaMan got his start, rather than the NES. Regardless, I actually think there are things done better here than in the NES original. Isn't that funny?
The Atari 2600 had two sound channels. The music already doesn't work. Also, those saying only two sprites per scan line has never programmed for the Atari. You can achieve around 4-5 if you change the sprites position as it's drawing the screen, simulating more than 2 sprites, albeit with flicker.
supplemental chip in the cart, like Castlevania 3 in Japan. I get your point that it was possible, but Chip is right too, it just depended on the design goal of the author and what limitations they gave themselves.
if this is supposed to emulate atari 2600 it's not doing a good job at it. the most blatant problem here is that the 2600 could only display 2 sprites at once on any horizontal line. this is still a cute little game though.
Well, it has the general visual style and aesthetic down, anyway. IMO, it doesn't have to be accurate in every way if making it too accurate would hinder the experience too much or something. But yaa, really kool game.
@@davidthecommenter Speaking of, do you know where I can play this? Too bad I can't play it on my real 7800 (it's an atari 8bit compy game) but I really want to emulate it.
This is proof that it follows one of the two golden rules to make a fun game. A good game play or a good story that you invest you self in. The graphics and everything else is just an ad-on to it.
Air Man’s theme is so damn good in this demake Crash Man is good, but some parts really hurt my ears Flash Man’s Theme sounds more retro and funky and the start, and the rest is great. Quick Man is pretty good , not a favorite, but it’s good. (Also, the Boss Fight Theme is really close to the original) Metal Man’s Theme I never really liked the NES version, but this demake makes me like it just a little bit. Bubble Man’s Theme sounds extremely good and in my opinion, better than the NES Heat Man’s Theme hurts my ears at the start but after that sounds so cool, my personal favorite in this demake Wood Man’s Theme is very nice >:], all SilvaGunner jokes aside, it’s very good, but I like the NES version a lot more better.
I personally always go for Metalman first. His stage is, in my opinion, the most fun in the game, and Metal Blade is *so* much better than the stock lemon shooter.
@@TheRedCap Yeah, you're right. What makes the Metal Blade even MORE overpowered is the fact that if you shoot 3 Metal Blades, pause, and repeat, you'll never run out. Edit: Strategically, Metal Man first is the best way to go. But, I like to replay the game and start with every Robot Master.
I actually find this better than the original megaman II. Cause some stages have gimmicks now, there's some level design changes, and even a new miniboss at crash mans stage. (+ the robot master sprites are pretty good in Atari too. )
Yup, in both this and NES version, Bubble Lead is the main weakness, it kills the "Picopico-kun" boss's pieces in one hit. Metal Blade is the most commonly used weapon tho, but it takes extra hits to kill them in Difficult/Japanese modes.
Very well done. I kinda did wonder how a megaman game would function as an atari game. kinda reminds me of one of those old handheld Tyco games from the early 90's. Music was very interesting as well.

Millton Manakeeper The one thing that makes it so much better imo is the Tellie spawner in the middle. Also the fact that the layout, imo, is a lot easier and harder to screw up on.
I love this. The gameplay may not be as challenging as the original, but it sure looks fun to play. It's also much faster, and that's a good thing. Having to wait through the Weapon Get dialogue is lame and this game fixes that. The SFX and Music are all great and are perhaps my favorite parts of this demake.
Oh man. OH MAN. I love when you shoot at the same time with the music. I did the same when i was playing the Wily Wars From Genesis Too! XD Anyways, good gameplay and great music!

I have immense doubts that the Atari can handle the music like this, unless it used the audio expansion chip in Pitfall 2, which seems quite steep for that too. This could maybe be 7800 with the POKEY chip like Ballblazer was. Graphics, spot on though.
Except for one little thing.Megaman 2 requieres at least 3 buttons to work. O e to jump,one to shoot,and one to open the weapons. The Atari 2600 only had one button. And even if jump was up or something dumb like that.The game would be tough as nails without the extra weapons.Nad that kinda blows.
The game couldn't work on an atari because you would need 3 buttons to play and the atari controller only got 1. But, I an demake of super mario bros was done on an physical cartridge and can be play on the atari 2600 if you use an genesis controller, but only 2 button on the genesis controller would work.
Holy shit dude, I actually prefer this remixed version of Dr Wily Stage 2 WAY more over the nes version. It sounds way more menacing and serious. Awesome job, that got me by surprise!
i'm aware that devs at the time definitely didn't have the resources to do this, but i wonder how it would go if a game like this came out on the atari
What do you mean by that? The entire first verse of "I Can't Defeat Airman" points out why you shouldn't beat Heat Man first- the Yoku Block segment that's nearly impossible without Item-2!
Probably the best part is how faithfully this was recreated. Though there's no way this could be played on a 2600 (and the 7800 might be pushing it), it was very well done, and you're one Hell of an excellent player at this (I've never gotten to Wily in this game nor the first one - damn it Quickman!)... Speaking of Quickman, the Quick Beams are very well done, very faithful to the original, which makes playing this for me, just as difficult, lol But I'd rather have a faithful recreation than one that's dumbed down to fit system specs.

How to beat Airman's stage:
Shoot your Megabuster to the sound of the music!
Or shoot leaf shield two times and you won
When the fight starts, stay at the left and dodge the tornadoes, then AirMan will jump to near the left where you can kill him with Leaf Shield.

Also the fact that the layout, imo, is a lot easier and harder to screw up on.
I just came across your channel and I remember you from the mid-2000s on RockmanPM. Glad to see you're still out here in Mega Man world!
I love this. The gameplay may not be as challenging as the original, but it sure looks fun to play.
It's also much faster, and that's a good thing. Having to wait through the Weapon Get dialogue is lame and this game fixes that.
The SFX and Music are all great and are perhaps my favorite parts of this demake.
Oh man. OH MAN. I love when you shoot at the same time with the music. I did the same when i was playing the Wily Wars From Genesis Too! XD Anyways, good gameplay and great music!
So basically if Capcom started Mega Man in the 70's, rather than the 80's.
I can't believe I watched all this. loved every moment. good job.
RUclips has blessed me with this in my reccomendations
9:55 we must agree it fits very well,also nostalgic gameplay
That Wood Man theme sounds suspiciously like mm2wood.mid...
>:]
Whatever, all that matters is that the theme sounds pretty nice in Atari form

Imagine that Capcom made a version for the Atari and the NES Atari players would be grateful
Thank you vixinyan for making my gaming dreams come true
This is what the PC Megaman games should have been.
Oh and don't think we didn't notice you shooting to the beat of the music 😍
Damn Dr Wily be lookin good
This is cool, but honestly it's WAY more sophisticated than anything on the old Atari systems.
The main menu and the level select screen looks a lot good than Atari 2600 graphics. Maybe this fit more with Colecovision graphics
I have immense doubts that the Atari can handle the music like this, unless it used the audio expansion chip in Pitfall 2, which seems quite steep for that too. This could maybe be 7800 with the POKEY chip like Ballblazer was. Graphics, spot on though.
This would have been very impressive if it were actually released on an atari
Except for one little thing.Megaman 2 requieres at least 3 buttons to work.
O e to jump,one to shoot,and one to open the weapons.
The Atari 2600 only had one button.
And even if jump was up or something dumb like that.The game would be tough as nails without the extra weapons.Nad that kinda blows.
@@Cton9573 there's a homebrew that uses down on the joystick to shoot
@@basicallysnake Still, it would have been really annoying.
i can't believe that this is on 2600, looks better than 7800 games or at least on one level with them
Physical cartridge when? I don't even have an Atari and I would buy one just to play this on it
Never, because this is not running on an Atari 2600. It's a PC game made in GameMaker.
zazelby Rats.
Jiggles the Clown Maybe, you can find it on an emulator. I want to!
You can download the game from the link in the description. It doesn't need an emulator.
The game couldn't work on an atari because you would need 3 buttons to play and the atari controller only got 1. But, I an demake of super mario bros was done on an physical cartridge and can be play on the atari 2600 if you use an genesis controller, but only 2 button on the genesis controller would work.
Holy shit dude, I actually prefer this remixed version of Dr Wily Stage 2 WAY more over the nes version. It sounds way more menacing and serious.
Awesome job, that got me by surprise!
were you shooting along with the song in Airman's stage?
ya~ I do it any moment I can in all kinds of games~
That would have been the most technically amazing Atari game… Fantastic job whoever did this!!!
i'm aware that devs at the time definitely didn't have the resources to do this, but i wonder how it would go if a game like this came out on the atari
Boss getting hit sound in the original:Ah, it‘s nothing.
Atari demake:EtErNaL sYsTeM cRaSh!
*AIR MAN* first????
that's the order man
A real man leaves metal man at the end.
WHY NOT HEAT MAN FIRST
What do you mean by that? The entire first verse of "I Can't Defeat Airman" points out why you shouldn't beat Heat Man first- the Yoku Block segment that's nearly impossible without Item-2!
Yeah that's why
I am fascinated with the soundtracks lol
Day I lost count of quarantine: I see Atari got Mega man 2 and not DOS
Probably the best part is how faithfully this was recreated. Though there's no way this could be played on a 2600 (and the 7800 might be pushing it), it was very well done, and you're one Hell of an excellent player at this (I've never gotten to Wily in this game nor the first one - damn it Quickman!)...
Speaking of Quickman, the Quick Beams are very well done, very faithful to the original, which makes playing this for me, just as difficult, lol
But I'd rather have a faithful recreation than one that's dumbed down to fit system specs.
If this released on the Atari 2600 they would have to ship it with a special controller that has more than one button
Wow the music on Wily’s stage was pretty close to the NES version. Great video
