The gameplay is similar to the previous installments of the X series, but there are some important changes:

At the beginning of the game, the player chooses to play either as X or Zero. Unlike future games in the Mega Man X series, the player is committed to the choice throughout the game (i.e., he/she cannot switch to the other character at any time). Though both of them go through the same stages, they operate differently, and get different challenges from the terrain. They must avoid obstacles like falling debris and spikes, and destroy enemy robots to reach the end of the stages.

ISSUE TWO: THE MEETING Trent MacGowan has but one agenda while reporting on the strange case of Lowesville: exploitation. An interview with Bob Rockman-a resident claiming to remember everything about the town's enigmatic history-is his first big break. Will it support Trent's cause, or help unleash an evil beyond his wildest dreams?
