Mega Man Anniversary Collection

[Dark Jaguar]

Actually, MM7 had numbers. It's just that each number also had a picture assosiated with it. They wouldn't force you to write down "roll, roll, protoman, met" :D.

Yes, each and every game has saving. The arcade games of course only save the score, but even they have saving. The games automatically save after every level and when you game over. To be honest, I do kinda wish they let you decide whether or not to save on your own (a simple yes/no option during the save sequence), but it's no biggy since only 8 really has any decisions you can actually regret saving (there are only 40 bolts for buying upgrades, and you can't afford it all, even if you could, you can't hold every upgrade in your inventory)).

So yes, MM1 does have a method of continuing now. Oh yes, all the password game's save files only save what the password would record, since the password is essentially what's in the save file. MM8 saves everything the original game did (since it was a PS1 game and ONLY had saving, no passwords, anyway). MM1 records all the bosses you beat, except Wily. So, if you quit, you'll have to restart at the first Wily stage. Pretty standard Megaman recording though.
