The classic games Metroid and Ghosts 'n Goblins have been hacked to replace the main characters with the equally-classic hero Megaman. Yes, if you played Megaman as a kid you guessed it: when you defeat Arthur you can use his spear, and when you defeat Samus Aran you get to use her missile. Three great eight-bit tastes that taste great together for your nostalgic pleasure. It reminds you that masterful game design and execution is never obsolete. They're playable online: Megaman vs Ghosts 'n Goblins and Megaman vs Metroid.
