Description:
Megaman 1 - The New Lands is a complete romhack of Megaman 1 (not Rockman 1). It features custom levels, custom robot masters, new musics, original art for every stage, modified weapons, enemies and bosses behaviors, faster megabuster shooting and increased shots limit, no knockback after getting damage, removes the deceleration of Megaman, making him stops instantly after the player stop pressing left or right, the most annoying enemies were nerfed, modified damage for each weapon, etc.
V 1.1: Some bugs and other issues were fixed (like the softlock in TintMan’s stage, the invisible spike on the red path of the stage, glitchy sprites after spawning in Wily 1’s first checkpoint and the non solid wall on Dyna Man’s stage), and a few sections were nerfed to be less frustrating without Magnet Beam.
Enjoy~

Model example for a MegaMan 1 hack!
Reviewed By: werewolfslayr925 on 15 Oct 2020Played through this in about 90 minutes. Everything is changed on some level or other, mostly for the better.
Pros:
- MegaMan’s moveset and weapons are interesting, fun to use, and useful throughout the game.
- The robot masters are pretty challenging, which I appreciated.
- Colorful backgrounds & levels and a more detailed MegaMan sprite made for a pretty environment and player avatar.
Cons:
- The level design is excellent, but not perfect: there were still a few jumps where head would hit ceiling causing a cheap death (e.g. in Tund Man’s stage).
- I also found myself wanting to use the slide in some spots.
- Robot Master design could use a bit more imagination. I’m not sure what Tund Man is supposed to be, (likewise for Tint Man’s power).
Overall, an excellent model for future MegaMan hackers, especially for MegaMan 1.
