>>40183854I don't know what to tell you, if you can't beat MegaMan 1 with savestates you just flat out suck. There are much, much harder NES games out there (SMB Lost Levels, Contra, and Castlevania 1/3 come to mind, and even they supposedly pale in comparison to shit like Ghosts N Goblins, Ninja Garden, or the shitty NES games).
All things considered, Mega Man is one of the easier series in the "difficult old school games" debate.
