After Mega Man 4 came out in Japan in December 1991, Capcom decided they should make a spinoff. And the game was Rockboard. Released in 1993 (the same year Mega Man 6 came out in Japan), it plays almost similarly to the board game Monopoly released back in c. 1935 and the video game Fortune Street released by ASCII Corp. in 1990. The game was planned to have North American release called Mega Board (as seen in a Latin American source) but was canceled. Why? Mega Man 6 was released on NES, Mega Man V was released on Game Boy, Mega Man X, Super Street Fighter II, and Demon's Crest were released on SNES, due to the 5 games per year limit imposed by Nintendo, and the NES was becoming obsolete. Which means we'll never get to play it... But now we can thanks to emulation. In the game, Mega Man is the host, you can choose from 5 characters; Dr. Light, Roll, Dr. Wily, Dr. Cossack, and Kalinka. There are four boards; Green Town, Cold Island, Hot Zone, and Megalopolis. You can randomize the order of turns, or keep it the was it is. There are two rules; Bankrupt is that if one player runs out of money, the game ends, and Battle Royal is that if there's one player remaining is the winner. Each map has a set goal, and whoever accomplishes that goal wins. Since there isn't a RAM map for this game, making memory watches is quite difficult. 000C is the number of lots owned by current player/owner of lot/lab in Hexadecimal. It's also shared with other events like using a boss card or bidding in an auction. If anybody can help me in finding the RAM addresses for the money amounts for all players, the lots and labs owned by players, I appreciate it 'cause I'm having a rough time finding 'em. Here is this sample TAS I created
