So that is basically why the Mega Man art is so bad and was believed to be why the first Mega Man game sold so poorly.
Cool. Thanks for the info! Kind of reminds me of WTC logo origin as I think it too was designed near the deadline... lol sometimes the pressure of looming deadlines is good inspiration!

Never been fully versed in Mega Man lore but the character is cool.
