I know something that you don't...

[JonLeung]

Having knowledge of future events doesn't count as "psychic" if someone told you, like for example if Zeric told you that Chill Penguin and Armored Armadillo maps will be up soon.  



I just finished X 8 last night.  It's like this is right on cue (though I finished it on Easy, where I don't get to see the ending...phooey).

[marioman]

Ooooh...Jon is psychic too.

Why not?  That's people do that on TV all of the time.  And they make truckloads of money while they're at it.



X8 seems interesting.  I don't have a PS2, but I would consider getting the PC version.  I just haven't gotten around to it yet.  I would also like to get X7 for the PC, but the PC version was only available in Korea.

[JonLeung]

I think every X game except for X 2 is available for the PC.  I remember buying Mega Man X for the PC way back in the day to get the Genesis-like controller (or "joypad").  Though really, shouldn't a Super NES-like controller have been more fitting?  I see the box every day, all my boxed games are lined up along the wall alphabetically and Mega Man X and Metal Gear Solid 2 are directly above the center of the monitor.



Those are the kinds of games that are more common in their console form, it seems.  I've seen one of the later X games available from one of those legal buy-a-download sites when they seemed to be advertising a lot on GameFAQs, but otherwise they're hard to find.

I hear that X2 was available for PC somewhere in Asia, but I am not sure where.

[JonLeung]

Well, since last week I made time for a non-weekend update by putting up Xtreme 2 maps on Thursday, it's only fair to put up the remaining X maps on even a Monday, right?



So Chill Penguin's and Armored Armadillo's stages are up.  Get your dash boots and your Hadokens, etc.

Awesome! List updated.  Thanks Zeric.

Can it be? The maps for the greatest Mega Man game ever created are complete at last! =D

Update 4/26/08:



Will has ripped another Mega Man GG map.  This time it is Napalm Man.  This leaves 5 maps for the game, so I updated the 5 or fewer list.  Thanks Will.

[Will]

Thank you. I found Napalm Man the most colourful stage I have ever seen in the game. Why he is he called Napalm Man? Isn't Napalm the jelly stuff used to power flamethrowers? He's not using a flamethrower instead he's lauching bombs, so is the name inconvienent and would Rocket or Missile or Bomb Man have been better? And lastly I'm onto Bright Man.

[marioman]

Napalm is also used in bombs.  There was already a Bomb Man, so that name wouldn't work.

[Will]

I have now finished Starman, that makes only three left. I can hardly wait to make it to Dr. Wily.

[marioman]

Awesome!  List updated for Star Man.  The Mega Man Board maps will be checked off as soon as they go up on the site.  Thanks.



Mega Man Board is actually a really fun game.  It has been accused of being just a straight Monopoly clone, but I think that in some aspects it is better than Monopoly.  The main difference between it and Monopoly is the fact that anyone can build on a piece of property.  (Whereas in Monopoly only  the property owner can build on his own property.)    So if Player 1 builds on Player 2's property, then they have to split all rent that is taken in.  Very interesting gameplay.



Thanks again for the maps Will.

I like being praised and I have just finished Waveman today, it's the biggest map I've done yet, even bigger than the Sailor Moon maps I've done, the long length of the map is the speedboat rush. I considered whether to do it or not, but I've done it and you will soon see the end result of Waveman I have been working on all day.

[marioman]

List updated.  Two to go.  Thanks.
