This week Fred goes solo to celebrate Doom‘s 20th Anniversary and the Mega Man series. Keji Inafune’s legacy may live on through Mighty Number 9, but when he was a young new college grad Capcom employed him to create one of the most beloved and long running franchises of the company’s history.
Peter Tieryas continues his vidcasts of Favorite Game Levels by covering Mega Man 2. For many gamers, their first glimpse of the cinematic potentials of gaming was from the opening movie in Mega Man 2. There were eight full levels with wickedly creative game design and fantastic anime styled art to create a unique look.

Unable to choose just one level, he covers both Air Man and Bubble Man.
