Gemini Man: Journey to Castor Palace is a conceptual fan game by D-Boy Wheeler. It stars Gemini Man from Mega Man 3. In this game, Gemini Man does battle with the Polluxites, a group of crystalline humanoid Robot Masters (they are named after Pollux, one of the Gemini twins). The Polluxites are serving and spreading the Evil Energy.
Castor Palace, of course, is named after Castor (the main twin of Gemini). It is in Castor Palace where the final stages will be, naturally.
Gemini Man starts out with his Gemini Laser. He can also launch a temporary clone to attack enemies or gain hard-to-reach items.

[Text] 20XX
{Gemini Man exploring}
[Text] Gemini Man had recently been rebuilt and reprogrammed for good.
[Text] He was one of many Robot Masters to have been such.
[Text] Since the passing of both Dr. Light and Dr. Wily, and Mega Man having reverted back to Rock, this project of reviving and reprogramming Robot Masters was seen as somewhat a necessity.
{Gemini Man finds the Evil Energy emerging.}
[Text] One day, he saw the Evil Energy--recognizing it as such from Rock.
[Text] Eight crystalline robots known as the Polluxites emerged to spread this deadly power around.
