"After hundreds of years of chaos, mankind has finally emerged from the ruins
of nuclear war. This world of the distant future has once again flourished
under the guidance of the Great King, who harnessed the power of the 8 Eyes
to rebuild the planet.
These strange jewels of power were formed at the eyes, or centers, of the
eight nuclear explosions which nearly destroyed the Earth. In the wrong hands,
the 8 Eyes could cause untold destruction... and now, they have been seized
by the Great King's eight Dukes, in a desperate bid to gain control of the
world for themselves. They have banished the King to the nuclear wastelands,
and already their squabbling threatens to plunge the world into war once
again!
The task of retrieving the 8 Eyes falls to you, Orin the Falconer, the bravest
and mightiest of the King's Guardsmen. With your fighting falcon, Cutrus, you
must penetrate each of the eight Dukes' castles. There you will face the
Dukes' soldiers, and battle strange nuclear mutants such as living skeletons,
giant wasps, and mud men. You must defeat the monstrous Boss of each castle to
retrieve the Jewel of Power he guards.
Then, to complete your quest, return the 8 Eyes to the Altar of Peace to await
the return of the Great King, so that he may finish the rebuilding of Earth.
Your reward will be the eternal gratitude of all mankind!"
Mycket trevlig platformer. Man kan spela CO-OP! En spelare spelar Orin (snubben) och den andra styr Falcon (föggeln). I slutet på varje bana stöter man på en boss, som är spelets höjdpunkt. Det krävs en hel del klurande och micro-management för att knäcka varenda en. På sista banan ska man i sann Mega Man anda möta alla bossar igen. Vilken bjudning! GG.
