About this game
In the networked world of the near future, the WWW organisation is spreading computer viruses and disrupting everyday life. Lan and his Net Navi, MegaMan.EXE, work together to investigate the attacks and stop the threat. Guide Lan around the real world, talk to people and jack into electronic devices to send MegaMan.EXE into cyberspace. Build a folder of 30 Battle Chips, then move MegaMan.EXE around the battle grid in real time, dodge enemy attacks and fire the Mega Buster. The setup screen offers chips drawn from your folder; matching names or letter codes let you send several together. When the battle gauge fills, choose a new set. Win battles to earn Zenny and new chips, improve MegaMan.EXE with power-up programs and save through the Sub Screen. The original cartridges also support chip trading and Net Battles through a Game Link cable with two GBA systems and two game cartridges.
