Mega Man / Rockman (PlayStation) (8.5.99)
All six original Famicom games enjoyed ports on the Japanese PS1 in the late 90s as the "Rockman Complete Works" project. At the time, I really thought it was silly to pay $40-50 for a single 8-bit port with some extras (and load times) when the originals were much cheaper, but those who bought them seemed to really dig the series revitalized on the PS1. The box art itself is really fun with the muted boss portraits and Mega Man appearing much like inspiration Astro Boy.

Mega Man 2 / Rockman 2: The Mystery of Dr. Wily (PlayStation) (9.2.99)
I prefer the Famicom cover, as here the characters look a bit too cute and it's hard to get a good look at any of them with the busy fish eye lens angle. Something interesting on the back is that Capcom themselves calls Mega Man 2 the greatest game in the series, whereas there's plenty of contention amongst fans between this and 3.
