If Mega Man were in Ebenezer Scrooge's place, he wouldn't allow himself to get strung along a redemption journey by a bunch of weaksauce spirits. Naw, he'd blow the sh*t out of 'em and call it a night!
That's exactly what Mega Man sprite repository Sprites Inc. has done with this special holiday-themed fan game. This bastardization of the Dickens classic repurposes the four spirits (including the ghost of Scrooge's old business partner, Jacob Marley) as Robot Masters under the command of a deranged Santa, a very obviously drunk Dr. Light. Mega's got no time for this malarkey, so he skips the levels and jumps straight to the boss battles.
It's a very short and humorous treat. Give it a spin! What else are you gonna do this weekend, anyway?

I think we're all pretty familiar with dating sims. They're typically really cute, but mostly they're pretty erotic. Admit it, we've all played them before just to see what they were about and most of the time they're not tha...
It's a little too short, a little too simple, a little tedious, and doesn't have enough music, but that's still not stopping me from declaring that The Guardian on Newgrounds is one of the best simple pixel art games I've eve...
