Five games to get you through a war

Mega Man 2 | Capcom | NES | 1989

What has Mega Man got to do with modern-day war? Well, nothing superficially. Of course there%26rsquo;s a little shooting but that%26rsquo;s about where the similarities end. We don%26rsquo;t currently spend our days battling against giant robots (But here%26rsquo;s hoping one day), armies don%26rsquo;t gain much battlefield advantage from repeatedly jumping sideways, and the present day soldier is very much trained in the art of crouching. No, rather than working as a simulation, where Mega Man helps is in setting the very mood for war.
