10 Crazy Video Game Spin-Offs You Won't Believe Exist

Another Mega Man spin-off, Wily & Light's Rockboard: That's Paradise (also known as Wily & Right No Rockboard: That's Paradise, or just Rockboard, depending on where you look) did something even more nutty with the Mega Man world than Mega Man Soccer did: it turned it into a board game.

After choosing the number of players, picking a character (options include most Mega Man favourites, like Wily, Roll and Cossack), selecting a map and setting the rules, you're dropped onto a Monopoly-style board. Here, your mission is to buy up as many properties as you can in order to secure the most rent, with the winner determined by factors like spaces owned, or Zenny (the game's currency) accrued.

So yeah... it's basically Mega Man Monopoly. There are even squares that you can land on which will cause various effects on the board, just like Chance Cards and Community Chest Cards. The only major difference from the classic property game is that, in Rockboard, multiple players can buy the same square, competing with each other to charge the most attractive rent price.

It's no surprise that most gamers have completely forgotten this one exists, because it's pretty uninteresting even by Monopoly standards.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
