1. Google "NESticle" (download and install). [This is the program I like, but there are others. Search for "NES emulator" to see other options.]
2. Then Google "Mega Man ROM" (download and put in NESticle/ROMs, or maybe NESticle/games).
3. FOR FUCK'S SAKE, PLAY MEGA MAN. Or better yet, Mega Man 2.
You will enjoy it a lot more if you do not use the mouse/keyboard. Get a controller that you can plug into your USB. (An Xbox 360 controller will work, or you can get a cheap adapter for PS2 controllers for like $5 at Radio Shack.)
@ Mr.2VC: You know your game lore. Props!
On a related note, who here remembers River City Ransom, also on NES? That game was so damn awesome I can hardly stand it. It puts a smile on my face every time I play it, even after 15 years. Now that's a game.
Hmm dont remember that game, what about Earthbound, one of the hardest freakin games to buy for the Super Nintendo now.
!!!!!!!! THATS ZERO OMG !!! Kid's....
Obviously you have never played Mega Man, or you wouldn't have the chutzpah to make such criticisms. The things you point out are all intentional, especially the enlarged pixels. That didn't happen by accident. Creating this in photoshop took lots of guidelines, grids, and patience. 
Your avatar is very nice. The colors are clear and even-toned, like in a cartoon. I can only assume it looks like you do in real life. I don't like the white outline and then the black box. The black box should go, since it doesn't really serve the avatar or the composition, and it looks a little out of place in every table element where it appears. You wouldn't have that problem with some other shape of border, or if you used transparency. 8/10.
Edit: Mr.2VC's avatar looks like a cyborg's nipple. Which makes me smile.
I actually don't find the pixelated nature of Paul's avatar in the least bothersome. Given that avatars are, outside this thread, overwhelmingly only perceived peripherally, the bold colors and large areas make it very recognizable.
And, as Paul said, it fits the source material.
Um, actually, it's protoman. Me thinks you should play the origonal megaman games.
Hah, I was right. I was just too lazy to double check, so I didn't say anything. =P
I always liked Protoman better anyway. He just looks cooler.
Hahah i know, i was just kidding, hence the OMG and whatnot, anyways 8/10.
hm what IS that thing anyway? i think its an eye that came out and splattered. that's kinda violent and you know if jack thompson finds out you're gonna be in trouble because he's not getting disbarred this week.
The cake is a PI

Holy cats, I didn't even realize my long-lost brother was on these boards. But then, when I get nostalgic I go back and play 1 & 2. Honestly I thought the enemies in Mega Man 3 were kinda weak. SnakeMan? Please. So yeah, I ain't totally up on my Mega Man lore. This reminds me I was gonna dig up those mouse pointers I made when I was in college... will search the HDs and report back.
