As I'm clearly ID's resident "I will lose my sanity for all you people out there" member, I'm delving into the vortex that is a fangame of a beloved series.

Of course, in the case of this particular one, there are three in this series with a fourth currently in production. I intend to play through all of them, quality be damned!

If you wish to play along, head to the following site to download the first three games:

The journey begins through the realm of a familiar chameleon. Enemies are rather brutal early on while the main boss of this stage manages to make me laugh pretty viciously in the pre-battle dialogue.

This makes me think, why haven't I watched a playthrough of Minus Infinity from you?

Probably because I'd have to play it first because I'd likely try to do every stage no deaths style because...yeah, heh.

I'm surprised you didn't ask "Why haven't I seen a Mega Man Zero 1/2/3/4 playthrough from you?". Not sure when, but I intend to do some kind of playthrough through all four games with a couple stipulations in place (And not just no death/no subtank use. Something else entirely different).

That's all in the future though. For now, here's a bunch of videos showing off why you should not have buyable agility boosting items in your shop. Then again, a certain hornet might have been able to game over me...but nope, uses low damage attacks while I'm slept twice in a row. Yeah, dingbat slept me again the MOMENT the first sleep wore off.

Oh hey Zero got rescued finally, meaning I have a meatshield to absorb hits while X continues to get double/triple turns or more on everything!

All maverick stages complete now. The endgame stages are coming next and I plan to break the difficulty a little more there...as if X hasn't done that already by himself, heh.

First half of the final stage assault in this afternoon's videos.

How to break the difficulty even more:

1. Buy two Viruses from Hell chips
2. Buy a bucketload of MP Chips to boost the duo's maximum mp pools.
3. Buy two Mega Healing Chips if you haven't done so yet.
4. Have plenty of Special Tanks or anything that refills mp.
5. ???
6. Profit!

Anyways, the final two videos will be up later tonight and the first game of the trilogy will be over with.

First game complete with the maverick refights & final boss fight. Thank god I purchased those Life Tanks on a whim because some asshole tiger decided to be a real jerk.

Second game is...well, shall we say, quite a bit more vicious from the word go. You'll see that game in action next time!

Time to begin action on the second game. This one brings the asshole moves right out of the front gate with obstacles that instantly game over you if they are touched and a dingbat snail boss with a poison move. Fantastic!

Just wait until the NEXT stage I do though. The boss of that one is magical I assure you.

Today's trio of videos breaks down the houses of three more mavericks.

Jet Stingray - HP Drain can kiss my ass!

Web Spider - Web Spark inflicts paralysis, but somehow I lucked out and paralysis only ever proc'd once from that move.

The Skiver - Forgot to pack some anti Elec Shock equipment and got his ass handed to him.

The next stage is...Frost Man.

Fuck D:.

Frost Man's stage is a real pain in the ass. So much so that I split the epic tour into three videos for easier consumption.

In all honesty, the boss was probably the easiest part of this whole stage...and it wasn't a pushover like The Skiver.

Paying a visit to the Colonel, then to a train where I game over due to being stupid near an instant death obstacle in today's pair of videos!

Another maverick downed (one that was an actual challenge mind you), the beginnings of assembling the Captain Rex armor for X, and collecting the easter egg in this morning's videos!

Might as well drop a few more videos in here before I go off to bed tonight. Stone Man's stage wasn't my finest hour with regards to dodging ID obstacles while a Captain Rex-esque massacre occured in the stage after that.

Only one maverick left to take out now!

Dropping the final maverick, completing the Captain Rex armorset for X, then plowing through the first endgame dungeon in today's videos!

Starting off today's video barrage with the final endgame area's first four stages getting breached in some feature length episodes. Nothing tricky just yet.

Why are some of the videos like Moon Base 4/5/6 not available in my country (Germany)?
And why is the final battle of Maverick 1 private?

Honestly, I couldn't tell you why they're not available in Germany. Something about music rights or whatever. Not sure why it's just Germany though.

And that private video...not sure how that happened since I never mess with that setting, but it's fixed now.

Anyways...a few more videos here tonight. Very close to the final battles now!

Second game is complete now. The final fights manage to be rather challenging and require some careful play to get past.

Only one more game to blast through now so action on that will begin next time!

Time to kick off action on the third game with the usuals. An intro stage, mavericks going poof, you know the drill here.

One thing to note...I'm going to be playing through as much of this as possible with a low level. That means skipping a fair portion of the enemies along the way.

We'll see if this actually makes the early game a challenge because it sure as hell isn't otherwise, heh.
