FreakBoards 2023 NES/GB Book Club #5: Megaman May (NES/GB)

Curious about what this is? Here’s the explainer!
Spoiler!
What is this?
Every month a game will be chosen at random and the goal is to beat it, or at least get as far as you can in it. It’s not a race, not a requirement, just play an old-ass game you haven’t otherwise thought to give the time to. You might find a new old favorite or at least learn something about it!

How long does this go on for?
Until the end of the month! You’re free to keep playing the game afterwards, but the thread will be unpinned.

Who can join in and How?
Everyone and anyone! There’s no registration necessary, just find a way to play the month’s game! Whether it’s a PC emulator, a piece of boutique hardware, or even on ORIGINAL hardware, any way’s fine as long as you’re able to play the game.

Also not a huge necessity but very welcome: log your gameplay! Screenshots, text, video, art, keep us up to date on where you are and what you think about the game as you go! At the very least give us a screenshot of where you are at the end of the month.

What’s the game this month?

It's FREAK'S CHOICE!! For this month you are welcome to pick any Megaman game released on the NES and/or Game Boy! Play as many or as little as you like! Play the Xtreme games even, if you feel like it! This month's all about the blue bomber.

Real fucked up that you can still die after beating a boss.

But I beat Cutman!

The fact that spikes just straight up kill you is so mean imo

Beat gutsman, I did end up using savestates to get past that first platforming challenge. Luckily that was the hardest part of the level.
