Play Mega Man 3: The Robots are Revolting Online

Mega Man 3: The Robots are Revolting came out in 1992 for MS-DOS, published by Hi-Tech Expressions. It was one of those early PC platformers that tried to bring a console feel to the keyboard, back when DOS gaming was still figuring out how to handle action smoothly. The game arrived in an era where ports often played very differently from their original versions, and this one was no exception.

You control Mega Man, running and jumping through side-scrolling stages to stop a robot rebellion. Your main goal is to defeat a series of robot masters, each with a unique stage full of platforms and enemies. The gameplay involves careful screen-by-screen exploration, shooting with your arm cannon, and collecting power-ups to help you survive. The pacing feels uneven, with some sections dragging due to awkward controls or unpredictable enemy behavior. It’s a game that demands patience more than reflexes, and playing it feels like wrestling with an ambitious but unpolished imitation of something you wish it was.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
