Thirty Years of the Blue Bomber! (Chapter Markers and More Below!)
On December 17, 1987, Capcom released a game known as Rockman in Japan Soon after this game would come to the West as Megaman. You wouldn’t know it then but that one game would be the genesis for one of the best selling series of all time. 30 years later the MegaMan franchise has over a dozen spinoffs and over 100 games overall. To cover all of them would be a little too crazy/but we will take a look at how Megaman the character and the series were created and how the success of these early games laid the foundation for what Megaman has become today.
