More On: Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch

So first off, you might be wondering just what the heck Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch even is.  For those who don't know, Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch is a total conversion for Skulltag, which itself is a multiplayer source port for Doom created by Brad "Carnevil" Carney and is based on a version of ZDoom and GZDoom...yeah, wikis can do that explanation better justice.  Anyway, MM8BDM takes Skulltag and completely changes it around to look like classic Mega Man from stages to skins to even the weapons.  The game was released in October of 2010 and has seen several updates and versions that add in various elements such as the addition of Mega Man 7 and 8 sprites to a game mode called Roboenza, essentially a variant of last man standing.  

Anyway, the recent release of v5.0 sees the addition of Mega Man 9 characters and stages and they look pretty good from the trailer.  More info can be found over at Cutstuff.net and is definitely worth a look if you're a Mega Man and Doom fan.
