Mega Man 1, hard? At times the levels can be frustrating (stupid Guts Man platforms, jump NOW.. NO!), but I found that to be quite easy. The bosses especially. I mean, you could literally stand in one place firing away and just watch them die without hitting you once for a few. The rest just require jumping and such. Being able to knock THEM back just helped tremendously. Wily himself on the other hand, he was rather tough, as Wily always tends to be. The hardest version of Wily though HAS to go to Mega Man 7's Wily boss. First form? That's easy enough to master if you don't mind taking a LONG time to beat him. Just learn the patterns, shoot the eye, and slide slide slide! The second form pretty much requires a perfect damage free go against the first form, AND full tanks, just to barely scrape by. I've only beaten it a few times because of how tough MM7's Wily is. MM8's Wily, even though it's a pretty similar final form (and in fact it was used again in Megaman and Bass, and from what I hear again in Megaman 6) was actually easier just due to how the shots worked. The NES Megaman games weren't exactly the hardest in the world, and in fact I'd say they are about equal to the SMB series (minus Lost Levels). You want hard? Play Lost Levels (all stars, not that dumbed down SMB DX version) or Battle Toads. That's tough actin' tenactin!
Darunia, did you perfect the game? Beating it is meant to be easy, because the real challenge lies in mastering it. Did you find EVERYTHING, including in the ultra hard hidden levels? That's where the real fun lies.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
