What started as a Mega Man DOS remake ended up turning into a fun little side project! It's my own little spin on the Mega Man series, called "Mega-Type". I know the NES has much nicer colors, but I couldn't resist giving the EGA palette a try. And despite how horrible Mega Man DOS made it look, it's actually a very workable palette if you know your limitations. See if you can guess all the Mega-Man counterparts!

In order:

Dr. Heart - Creator of Storm, Hail, Thunder and Squall. Got a claw after he lost his left hand in an embarrassing accident, piquing his interest in robotics. Based off of George Washington Carver.

Storm (Mega-Type) - Dr. Heart's magnum opus, made to counter the evil robots of Dr. Vengeance. Despite being created by Dr. Heart, he is very rebellious at heart and hates the 3 Laws. Uses hand-based weapons.

Hail (First-Type) - Dr. Heart's first creation with a free will. He was not programmed with the 3 Laws of Robotics, so he went on a massacre and had to be destroyed. Used a handgun-based weapon.

Thunder (Beam-Type) - The quirky sister of Storm, she is a talented entertainer, able to mimick hundreds of musical styles. She uses beam-based weapons and likes Dr. Heart much more than Storm does.

Squall - Storm's trusty coyote, which stores things for him and can reach smaller places. Dr. Heart's first animal-based robot, she is loyal to both Dr. Heart and Storm. She uses breath-based weapons.

Hardlet - A low-level goon of Dr. Vengeance's army, possessing an invincible helmet it hides under. It attacks by creating bright light flashes with it's helmet.

Smash Spring - One of Dr. Vengeances's strongest goons, they usually guard high-security areas and attack by crushing their opponents underfoot.

Bolt - Quake's animal partner, which teams up with him in battle and carries messages from Dr. Vengeance. He is incredibly loyal to Dr. Vengeance, but usually inadvertently aids Storm.

Quake - Created from the remains of Hail, he is Dr. Vengance's loyal creation and Storm's bitter rival. He can copy abilities like Storm, but his abilities perform functions opposite of what they are intended.

Dr. Vengeance - A proud yet reclusive scientist, he believes his creations are helping the world but in actuality they are bringing upon it's destruction. Based off of Thomas Midgley Jr.
