Rockman X - Cyber Mission (Japan) is basically the Game Boy Color's take on the Mega Man X series, squeezing that classic run-and-gun action into a tiny screen. It slots in between X2 and X3, so if you're deep into the lore, there's some connective tissue here—though let's be real, you're mostly here for the shooting and platforming.

It plays like you'd expect: dash-jumping through stages, grabbing power-ups, and taking down Mavericks with their own weapons once you beat them. The sprites are surprisingly decent for a GBC game, though some of the level designs feel a little cramped compared to the SNES versions. Still, if you need a portable X fix, this does the job.

Just don't expect it to blow your mind—it's a solid, stripped-down version of the formula.
