Pirate Game of the Week 035: Rockman VIII (Gameboy) Series Finale

Rockman VIII is so packed with bugs that it'll be impossible to play the game all the way till the end. Then again, people can get lucky one way or another. Nevertheless, get ready to suffer in what you think would be a great game to play, it's actually a horrid disappointment. In our series finale, we take a look at Rockman VIII for the Gameboy!

The music is nothing to enjoy...it's odd and weird and could make your ears bleed if played too loud. The sound is nothing to enjoy so I suggest you play the game in mute and play the Rockman 8 intro song in the background.

Looks like a Mega Man game but it's nowhere near as good as one. Looks can be deceiving huh?

The gameplay is what makes this game so unplayable. Not only is your Mega character buggy but there are parts of the game that disappear which makes you get stuck or jump into nothingness. If you are one of the few lucky ones to finish the game, then you are quite a trooper and one lucky son of a bitch.

There is no reason to play this game unless you want to go mentally insane. There is so much wrong doing in this game that to try to play it would not only take all the patience in the world but all the luck along with it. Make sure you don't come across any black cats!

There is no reason why you should play this game other than curiosity. The game itself shows some promise but with the struggling controls and missing platforms there is no way you can enjoy this game as you would enjoy an original Mega Man game. I say stay away from this and just watch the videos on youtube about it.


So this is it, the end of another series! I hope you all enjoyed all thirty-five releases and hopefully help you decide on what games you should stay away from. There is lots of interesting things about them but most of the games are unplayable for the most part. There is nothing left to say except for cya next time!
