MegaMan NT Warrior is set in the year 200X, where
virtually all technology is linked to a central
computer system. Citizens interface with this
network using their personal "NetNavis" (Net
Navigators) accessed via their personal terminals
(PETs). This futuristic world requires kids and
their families to interact with rapidly progressive
technology...where hackers and high-tech computer
crimes threaten their lives and the entire universe.
The responsibility to save the computer-generated
world and protect their town falls upon tech-savvy
Lan and his NetNavi, Megaman, as these net-warriors
unite to expose the darkness within their digital
universe.
