Title should explain.
I got into mega pretty late. Bn3,anyone?
I guess it's safe to say I got into it around the time NES was booming, late 80s early 90s. So, I was around 3-5 years old. I rented Mega Man 2 for the NES like no one's business. Mega Man 3 was the first Mega Man game I ever owned.
As a child I saw the Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon and thought it was cool, but it was just a passing thing and I didn't think about it too much. When I was in middle school, however, a friend of mine brought Mega Man X4 with him during one visit to my place, and that's when I started getting interested in the Mega Man series.
Since the first game for the NES game out, my friend let me borrow the game. I told him that the game is addictive, but the game cover was ugly.
He agreed.

Yeah I enjoyed it too. I hadn't played any of the Mega Man games before it, so I had no right to complain about how Proto Man was a bad guy. And as a child I didn't give a damn about the quality of the voice acting, but even now I thought it was alright.
Plus I like the design of cartoon Mega Man over canon Mega Man. He looks manly, after all.
I actually liked some of the voice actors, Megaman finally had a reasonable voice. Plus, I thought Cutman voice fit him quite well.

dang,I got into mega pretty late. Curse you Mario, for blocking the path to the ... X?...buster?...uhh,,,
I've started up with the NES games too, rentals only. I clearly remember renting Mega Man 2 and 5 several times, and I might have played 3 and 6 back then too. Of course, I needed to keep those dang passwords between two rental periods, and that I did to the point that I still have some of my original notes stored neatly in a binder.
Fast forward a few years later, in high school. I happened to stumble on those NES games back when the Nintendo 64 was being released, and I went "oh yeah, those were really fun!"... and I worked my way from there, including used games and imports.

Post redacted
I started playing MegaMan kinda late in the franchise back in '98, starting with the first MegaMan X for SNES. By '99 I was playing MM8 and the Legends series, which I totally fell in love with. XD And now I've played nearly every X, ZX and Classic game, and of course all the Legends and a few other MegaMans.
Yep! Since '99 I've been totally hooked.

I was born 1990 so I cant say as soon as NES was made... but NES was the first thing I saw... o.o Megaman was also the first thing I saw... blue caught my eye because blue is my favorite color. 8D I was attached and had no control over my urges to play the game. I was HOOKED FOREVER!
In memory of .hack//Chat I say one last time: "Let's meet again sometime, in that place we love to go. The Root town of Mac Anu!"

My first Mega Man game was MegaMan X4 on the Playstation. My friend owned it and whenever I went over to his house, that is all that we'd play. We were both terrible at it, but hey, I was ~7. Eventually I was able to pick up a copy for myself. Fast forward a few years to my birthday--I was in a mall and my parents said that I could pick out any game I wanted. After looking for about 20 minutes, I stumbled upon Mega Man Battle Network 3: White. Considering how much fun X4 was, I figured this would be good too, regardless of the fact that it looked nothing like it.
Greatest. decision. ever. I played this game so much and I spent a lot of time trying to find every chip and area--that game is actually what lead me to discover this message board 5 years ago. From there on out I would patiently await the release of the next Battle Network game. It was a bad day when they started coming out the DS titles and stopped production of the GBA one. The DS games are not bad, but they're just not...Battle Network.
I was born in 1995 so I unfortunately missed out on a lot of the classic titles. Only up until about 2 years ago, I thought that the NES Mega Man titles weren't very good, most likely due to the fact that I only played one of the Game Boy ones (and it was very hard, but again, I was ~7) and the NES titles looked extremely similar. For my birthday last year, my Dad ordered an NES he found on eBay for me that came with Mega Man 2 and 3. Despite what I had felt before, I decided to give them ago and I fell in love.
And that's my story that I'm sure all of you care about deeply.

I started with the orignal Mega Man game back on the NES.
I never bothered with BN but I tried to get into MMZ, but the Original and X series are the only ones that appeal.
Fight, Megaman! For everlasting peace! ~ :o
Well if you know where I'm at in life you know I obviously am not playing any NES games right now, but I wanted to comment on the password thing; the first system I owned was an SNES that I bought myself when I was 8, and I had a 'Nintendo Notebook' that I kept with all the passwords, codes, and lists of what 'file' referred to what. Example of the page on Super Mario All-Stars:
Mario A - Me by myself
Mario B - Me and a special friend [the one human being who would come over and play this game with me most often and/or wanted their own slot - was different for each game also, usually]
Mario C - Me and a friend
Mario D - Everyone
Of course that page had to be kept separate for every game as well because each game had a different amount of slots and some would require different setups to the nature of how the 2-player worked and whether it saved stuff, etc.
Blink: The NES games ARE hard as fuck. Apparently, that's why people liked them. A few of the levels are easier but most are not.

Believe it or not, but I am highly considering on getting a few Mega Man tattoos. A friend of mine up the street does them.
The first one is going to be the original Mega Man, in the 8-bit look.

Whoa, now that's hardcore.
You certainly wouldn't be the first one.
Everyone ever wonder why I've never posted in the Megaman sections? It's because when I joined I never actually played a Megaman game, I just watched Megaman NT Warrior on 4Kids! Granted this was when I was 12.
Although I have played Megaman X and own Megaman Network Transmission for the gamecube.
