Dang guys, it have been 20 YEARS...

I still remember when at my 6th birthday I was expecting for my NES a game of Mickey Mouse (I can´t remember the name) but I got instead a game of what appears to be an old-looking-future-cop with twisted legs. I didn´t try the game until one or two days later... after that, I got hooked... I even remember that I started with GutsMan and I landed on the first Met trying to kill it Mario style... lol.

Now, 20 years after, I realized that I've spent more time with our Blue Bomber than with some of my relatives. Thing is, that Mega Man bring back to me some of my happiest memories of my life (comin' back home after school, do homework while watching cable TV... the Disney hour, then Saved by The Bell and The Wonder Years after... and end up blasting some robots with Rocky Light).

Although I´m 26 years old now, I do know why I´ve sticked with the Blue guy... and it's because thru this 20 years I can feel at some level that there are still feelings of goodwill and even innocence on the different of Mega Man's incarnations. On our stressful daily life (work, family, people...) Mega Man have always been fresh air to me. And I know that all the old-school players like me ALWAYS tie Mega Man with some of the best memories of their childhood (school, friends, learning growin' up).

I´m proud to express that I´ve been with Mega Man all this time because it's more than a game franchise to me... Mega Man is a compound of memories and moments of, as I stated before, some of my happiest days, where there was nothing to be worried about.

Well, that was my tribute to our Blue Guy.
Happy 20th Rock.
