Today, I'm going to talk about Megaman my favorite adventurer in any video game. You do you know what my favorite Megaman series was? You can take a good second to take a guess, but I'm just going to tell you right now. It was the Megaman Battle Network series for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance. It was like a conventional Megaman game but an online Megaman game. The entire series of games took place on the internet. The few times you weren't online was when you were searching for your next place to plug into the internet. Now, I grew up with the internet and because of that this game always stunned me. It was just full of all kinds of things that could be in maturation right at that moment.
The internet was everything in the battle network line, and the internet could do anything. Even the stove was plugged into the internet and people would often go and use the internet to cook food. It couldn't physically put the food into the stove but it could control the heat and cook time. Now, I know what you're thinking. An online stove? What about viruses? That was actually the first boss in the first game the stove got a virus and the malfunctioning oven set the house on fire. But luckily there is a form of virus protection in the world and that's actually where Megaman comes in. He was a Net Navigator, called a Net Navi, which is basically like a talking web browser that could battle viruses and other corrupt browsers.
The Net Navis were a lot more than just virus protection. Like I mentioned earlier they were also web browsers. You sought them a question and they searched the internet and found the answer for you. We have this technology at present but the Net Navis did even more. They were also friends of their users. The Net Navis had feelings they could hold their own conversations amongst themselves or amongst humans. Because of this there were no misunderstandings like we have with today's voice chat software.
Any game needs to have a driving effect. I'm going to talk mostly about the third game here. In the third game the antagonist decided that the Earth had become too technologically oriented and they tried to destroy the technology and bring the earth back to how it was. In essence they were eco-terrorists.
Part of the game's charm is how strange the story gets. In the third game the villains go out and try to resurrect in essence the old internet which takes over the military's robots and starts to attack the people. And Megaman has to be plugged into the operating system in these robots in order to battle it out and shut them down to protect his friends. Of course at the end of the game Megaman does avail and everyone is happy, but it was a very strange yet cool situation. Throughout the series the story just gets weirder and stranger which I will talk about another time.
