A Passing Mention, Mega Man 3 Arcade

The Playchoice-10 arcade machine was essentially a large Nintendo console that played 10 of the top rated NES games and charged you money for it. Mega Man 3 was one of the games that made it on this system.

There is no difference between this version of Mega Man 3 and the original except that you play with a Joy Stick and are charged a quarter for every 5 minutes of play. It would personally cost me about $2.25 to finish the game if I were to play it now. A second screen at the top of the console would give you instructions on how to play the game you had chosen off the list. Being a part of the Playchoice-10 list is a good indication of how well Mega Man was coming along in terms of being a big part of building the industry.

The colors seem a bit duller, and the pallet seems a bit off, but otherwise everything is the same. If you're dying to see this version of the game in action, you can try it on a MAME emulator to see what I'm talking about. It seems to run better than most of the shitty NES emulators out there.
