Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch demo now available to the public

by Griffin McElroy on Jul 8th 2010 2:00AM

If your gut response to the Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch mod for Doom 2 revealed last November was one of overwhelming desire, prepare to be satisfied. A demo for MM8BDM was recently released by its creator, Mike Hill, and is now downloadable for free through the mod's official website.

The download comes with four pixelated maps, five character skins and over 10 different weapon attachments based on actual powers from the Mega Man series. Unfortunately, these weapons can be picked up from set locations on each map -- we're not sure we'll appreciate them as much as we did when we were forced to pry them from the cold, dead hands of a bested Robot Master.

Sweet, and I *just* got the id super pack on Steam!

Wow, this looks awesome.

Maybe i'll give it a try when i get my golden wrench or when they give the 100th one. Ok maybe 2 days after that since i'll spent most of my time either jumping on my bed or crying.

Doom isn't required to run the demo. I wonder if Proto Man is playable?

@Searchx He's playable. Hell, even Roll is

@Shadsy I dunno. I don't like Mega Man, so I can't say specifically, but I thought Retro Studios did a good job of translating Metroid to the FPS world. If it's anything like that, it's probably got a shot.

When did Retro do that? As far as I know, there's never been a good Metroid FPS????

I mean I've played Metroid Prime, but that can't be what you're talking about...

Can it?
