PC games
In 1990, Hi-Tech Expressions (under license from Capcom) produced an IBM PC game based on the series simply titled Mega Man. It was followed by a second PC game titled Mega Man III in 1992. Both games were released exclusively in North America. Despite their titles, neither games are ports of their corresponding NES counterparts, but original games created for the PC. There was no PC version of Mega Man II. Aside from handing the license to Hi-Tech Expression, Capcom themselves were not directly involved in the PC games. Both games were programmed and designed by Steven Rozner.
In 1999, Chinese developer Strawberry Soft created a game very similar to Wily & Right's RockBoard: That's Paradise called Rockman Gold Empire.
In 2001, the Dreams Comes True corporation released under license from Capcom an original PC game titled Rockman Strategy exclusively for the Taiwanese market.
A Japanese doujin game called Rockmen R: Dr. Wily's Counterattack was produced by independent developer Capricorn and released for Windows in February of 2009.
A fan made game programmed by Animetro called "Megaman Origins", which tells an untold story between Megaman 3 and Megaman 4 (NES) when Megaman earns the Megabuster (fitting in the official Capcom timeline, since in Megaman 4, Megaman has the Megabuster.) at defeating Alphaman, was released at the Christmas of 2010.
