Megaman II Being Rebuilt on Sega Master System

I really can’t get enough of all these awesome Rom hacks that are currently coming out as well as new original 8-bit console games. I’m currently waiting anticipating my copy of Lizard arriving for the NES and playing some Super Metroid Rom hacks in the meantime.

Another awesome one in the works is Megaman II redone on the Sega Master System. From the era when no Sega-licensed character would ever appear on a Nintendo console and vice versa, Megaman never made his way to the Sega 8-bit system of the period. Now we get to see what it might have looked like if he did. So far, the results are pretty close to the original. The music is where you hear a slight difference. It will be cool to see how actual gameplay shapes up.

I like that the developer is doing everything right, taking his time to understand the original disassembly before building each part of his game. Hopefully we’ll have a playable version soon!

You can get both the ROM and source code here.
