In this video we take a look at the infamous Mega Man DOS and review the game from start to finish. And you know what, I don't think it's nearly as bad as everyone says. It's obviously not the best game ever but is it horrible? Well watch the video and find out!

It wasn't just that it was made for DOS, it was designed for more low-end machines of the time. Also, at the time, it was thought that smooth scrolling and movement weren't possible on PC hardware, as consoles, other computers, and arcade machines all used custom hardware to do it. Commander Keen, released later the same, did have smooth scrolling and movement, but that was made by a whole team, including super-genius technomage from an alternate future John Carmack.
Even though this isn't a good Mega Man game it's still impressive that this is a 1 man job 👏
Great video, love to see someone cover this game in a less negative context! You should check out the mega man wonder swan game, I always thought it was really cool and would be nice to see you cover
Oil Man, Time Man and Charge Man: Bad
Mega Man on DOS: Not that bad
...Okay sure...
Honestly, I kinda respect this game for what it is
Back then pcs weren't really known for being big gaming platforms so to make something ambitious like this on it is pretty impressive imo
Also tooterp now that you're covering the more obscure mega man games, you should do a restrospective playthrough review of Mega Man Unlimited, it's one of the best Mega Man fangames I've played
Definitely need you to do the other DOS games and Rockman & Forte on Wonderswan!
DOS games were always so weird and cool to play. I'm gonna give this game a shot.
in dyna man's stage, the bar things you see at 16:35 can actually restore your weapon energy iirc and considering how much i used volt shield in the level it was very nice
Quite honestly, I'm not really that impressed it was done for MS-Dos.
I've seen side-scrollers that play much better and are also better designed in general, yes even for one man projects.
i had no idea this was just a fan game that capcom decided to sell for money. explains a lot tbh
Tooterp really played Mega Man DOS before the masterpiece that is Mega Man V (Gameboy).
There have been numerous attempts to remake the DOS Mega Man games over the last 20 years, I believe only one has made it to completion. Pretty much better off remaking it in Mega Man Maker.
I love how you didn't even look at the Wii port to check for differences or music, as far as I can tell, or at least tell us about it before going to PC.
I don't have any fruit in my house. >:3

It would've been fun to hear a version that used an early soundcard instead of just having no music and sound effects through the PC Speaker. I don't know if the AdLib Music Synthesiser Card was popular at the time, but hearing some totally non-fitting FM synthesis music would be fun.
You haters need to understand: This game was made by ONE person. It was a passion project, just like Mega Man 2 is. Just look at Rozner’s Mega Man X port. It shows that with passion and teamwork, you can make something amazing.
I would love to see a review of the Mega Man 3 DOS game. Just finished it an hour ago and it was a headache for me since my dos emulator is ass. The turrets are giving me PTSD.
i really appreciate that you actually just like video games
You my sir are the most positive mega man player i’ve seen in a while
The game would be a bit more palatable if the controls were better. They’re absolutely heinously bad on DOS and make things 100 times harder and more obnoxious than they need to actually be. The core game itself is pretty shit but I have to give it some slack for being made by one dude in his spare time
I agree it wasn't bad, I had finished Nintendo's Mega Man in 1990 at a friend's house and I only had a PC 286 at home with DOS and VGA and I had a lot of fun with this game for anyone who knew the games of the time this game achieved things that were rarely seen in other games
Does this mean you'll be doing a video on the DOS sequel, 3? I would love that!
For me: Space is Jump. Space bar is jump in almost every game.
Z works better for 2d games
Space is good for 3D games
Back in the day it was ctrl and alt. Everything was those two buttons.
What is it with videogame birds and hitting you with the force of a semi-truck?
It was cool, I completely enjoyed the video and want to see the review of mega man 3 on dos 😎
Lol I remember buying this when my dad brought home our first IBM computer ever. I grew up with a Commodore 64 so I associated computers with awesome games... When I started it up and got floored by that guard dog I became concerned. Then I got to the stage select screen and felt very betrayed. About 5 seconds later I started Voltman's stage and my childhood ended. Since then I look at tax filings for fun instead...
You should talk about the other DOS games.
I'd love to see you do the other dos games.
Ah yes, those barrels at 6:18 were stolen into Duke Nukem 1 if I remember right. And the crates on Dynaman's level. Also Megaman could've easily looked similar to the NES version on DOS. It's almost like they tried to make an HD megaman but failed horribly.
bruh why mega man is killing bird, rats and mosquitos 💀
Because it's him or them
At the time, I wanted this game, but couldn't afford it. (Back then, I was a huge Mega Man fan, especially after the NES's 2 & 3.) It's a good thing I never got this for the PC... the difficulty level would've probably turned me into the Angry Video Game Nerd, and I probably would've worn out the letter keys needed for this game! (Imagine a term paper with no 'J's or 'S's!)
I used to have the actual Mega Man game on DOS back in the day! I really didn't think it was THAT awful, and thought was a nice, little game, and something a bit different if you wanted to play Mega Man, after playing the NES games to death. This also being before the Game Boy M.M. games came out too. I never owned, nor played the third one, but do look forward to you reviewing that game when you get around to it though. 🙂
Credit where it's due, one person making it with little to no assistance from Capcom is a commendable feat. With that said, it was a product sold for profit, so I have to say that the game isn't really good. Playing on DOSBox on PC is probably easier, so you can handle the speed issue and rebind keys, but it's a very rough game to go through.
To quote a man:
"Although Wily looks like he's trying to sleep in class"
I like calling the Mega Man DOS game "The Adventures of Monkey Boy"
Happy Thanksgiving jason
If only Capcom would scoop up good mm fan games like Day in the Limelight, MMX Corrupted, and Mega Man Maker.
I've never actually have played this game but I definitely enjoy the lore and I actually don't mind the art work as much as others do. I like derpy Mega Man
this reminds me of the nerd, nice video 👍
I admire your dedication :D this game is really frustrating
Let’s see the other DOS games!
Is there any mega man game you can't stand out of idle curiosity?
power guy: what the hell of course not it is that bad because of the f*cking graphics
I developed a bunch of (crappy amateurish) games for DOS, in that respect really it doesn't matter that it's DOS. DOOM was made for DOS. Jazz Jackrabbit was made for DOS. One Must Fall 2097 was made for DOS.
The problems with this game are 3-fold.
1. It was made for EGA graphics. EGA was a digital graphics standard consisting of an R, G, and B line, and an intensity line. So you had 16 colors total, consisting of every combination of R, G, and B, in a high and low intensity. This is contrasting to the 16 colors you could display at once on the NES where you could choose from a palette of many colors, so you could choose colors that complement each other.
2. It wasn't made with Megaman's art style. There have been dogs or insects or birds in Megaman games, but they tend to follow the same art style with large expressive eyes and big animations. Megaman looks like a chinese knock-off.
3. It really wasn't made with Megaman's enemy style. There is a huge reliance on enemies that are too short to shoot (such as the dog in the introduction), which there were some in the megaman games but they weren't all of them. We also saw attack patterns being quite different than a typical megaman game. The bats in this game just come towards you and will stop when they hit you. Contrast with bats in an official megaman game where they tend to swoop and attack then go elsewhere.
I would like 2 C a video of the 2nd DOS Mega Man game called Mega Man 3: The Robots Are Revolting
Heck ya i wanna see more mega man dos!
I played this when I was 10 on a gravis pad, wholly unsure whether the game had lots of cheap wonky nonsense or if I was just too dumb of a kid to play a PC game well. The answer was probably both.
i still need to mod one of my Wiis lol
RIP Wii Wednesday basically :(
I heard you say MegaMan 4 DOS and not Mega Man for DOS
Not my fresh fruit ! 😨 Jk I'd totally share with you.
What About Mega Man 3 On DOS?
next time try MM DOS 3 ! :D
dude, that game is not ugly because of DOS, but because the game designer. He could just took graphics from the NES games ! for example MMX for DOS have the same graphics same like SNES version
i liked this video (my like is third)
I was expecting you to say I will go to your house and eat all your turkey and ham Because of what's tomorrow
Yes it is lol
Hope you like grapefruit.
mega man dos is 2d game but somehow watching the video triggered my motion sickness.
I dunno man, this game may be better than Mega Man GAMEGEAR for real for real. Wii Wednesdays are funsie onsie
MM3 dos!
Sonicman is a… water level.
The guys who made the mega man do
s games Made mega man X. on PC
The sequel is as bad as people say though, because it contains a game-breaking bug...on the final level.
What? No Wii Wednesday?
I mean, it's not good, but worst game ever is overstated. And considering the game was made by one guy on MS-DOS it could be much worse, just for that I considered he'd done decent job.
No bro its terrible regardless. (I am fan btw) edit: when best weapon in every dos megaman game?
I remember watching the AVGN play the Dos version. Spoilers he hated it.
There is an another Megaman game for DOS. Megaman 3. Its not better
there is very much a worse game, something like Expect No Mercy, it is very easy to shit on it nowadays.
I don't know if I can trust a Mega Man game with a 32-pip life meter. I'm so used to 28!
You should try Mega Man Maker. It's a fangame that allows you to create your own levels.
Oh no Wii Wednesday on the way out folks :(
It was a bad game. I played it, i beat it, & i still didn't like it.
Mmm thanks for the review, but I'll pass on it. If there's one thing I can't stand in a game, its janky controls.
give it a break, 1 person made this game
