Back in the days of the original gameboy (bought mine
in 1990), I did not have that many games. I had
Tetris and Super Mario Land. My first expansion was
when I was visiting my relatives and I spent a lot of
time at Toys R Us stores where relatives bought me
games 
One of these games was Megaman II. I had never played Megaman before, but my 11-year-old mind thought that “2” must be better than “1” so I got this Megaman to start with. I didn’t get to play the games I bought until I returned to Greece (which is where my gameboy was). I spent a lot of time on the first four bosses! I remember playing Metal Man first, and once I got to the end of the state and beat him (after many, many hours of game play), I found out that the game was not over! Darn!
I haven’t played many Megaman games after that. I have maybe played some stages on Megaman and Megaman 4 on the NES, and I have “Mega Man Powered Up
”
and “Mega
Man Maverick Hunter X
"
on the PSP. What I failed to realize was that
Rush (the dog companion) was not found in other
Megaman games (at least the ones that I was
exposed to), and it was quite a bummer.
While I no longer have Megaman II (I gave the game away, along with my gameboy), I would gladly play through it again. It was a lot of fun! Following is a video (1 of 6) that goes through the first two stages of Megaman 2, on the gameboy.
