Cara, esse jogo é bom e divertido, mas tem seus problemas como level design esquisito de vez em quando e a escolha de fases ser meio inútil pois é quase impossível passar de certas fases se caso você não tiver passado e pego o item de outra, mas como eu tomei spoiler de monte de coisas nada me surpreendeu muito. :v
i love mega man 1 and i have played through it sooo many times. the graphics may not be as advanced as later games in the series, and it may not have as many stages as later games in the series, but i just cant help but love all that is here. the enemy and boss patterns in this game are pretty simple but that simplicity makes it actually possible for someone like me to master, unlike later mega man games which sometimes went crazy with certain boss designs (shadow man from mega man 3 and slash man from mega man 7 are some examples). 4 of the 6 robot master weapons you get in this game are pretty useful in a lot of situations, while 2 of them are much more situational. this is a good balance in my opinion. the magnet beam is one of the best movement items in a mega man game to me, up there with mega man 3 rush jet. also, i think ice man is a cutie pie :)
If you look up "needs refinement" you'll certainly find the bizarre US boxart of the original Mega Man staring at you with his cold dead eyes.
The game's controls are both too heavy and too slippery, Mega Man himself takes a moment to either go or stop, and some of the level design is actual butt cheeks. Lookin' at you, Elec Man.
But you do see the trappings of brilliance underneath the poor controls and level design. Getting new powers is fun, the sound track is solid, and the graphics are great for 1987.
Mega Man is a solid enough game, but it's not the one I'd recommend you start the series with. Especially given the lack of healing items and poor control compared to later entries.

Start to a legendary franchise, admittedly I am bias when it comes to this one as I played it very young but I can see it has some very rough edges especially with difficulty but if you solider through it I think you will have a great time
Although there are only 6 Robot masters as opposed to the 8 that becomes the series standard, the 6 provided are iconic and fun to fight against and for a new player I think it is also pretty easy to figure out boss weaknesses, controls are probably as stiff as you can get with this series as Mega Man isnt able to do much other then run jump and shoot
This game (along with the rest of the franchise) is one I come back to almost yearly, do a quick run-through and end it off with a big smile on my face. For the time especially, Mega Man came out of the gate strong as can be, even with the first entry you've got that great OST the series is known for. Also with modern platforms you are able to use features such as save states and the rewind feature making it easier then ever to get into the franchise, that being said it is a very difficult game but not Ghosts N Goblins levels of unfair and this difficulty will be fine tuned as you make your way through the franchise
Solid 8/10

For a 1987 platforming side-scroller Mega Man hits the lofty heights of Super Mario Bros. and Castlevania. The game oozes personality with a cutesy aesthetic similar to Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.
Mega Man also has a great level select formula with boss fights that benefit from Mega Man's ability to utilise enemy weapons upon defeat - just like a game of Scissors, Paper, Rock.
I feel the original is unfairly pitted against Mega Man 2 and 3 which yes, greatly streamline the experience and build the real gauntlet of Wily Stages as well as Robot Master Gauntlets (it exists here, but is fairly relaxed).

There's a reason this one's a classic. Extremely hard in places, but definitely one of the most worthy of revisiting NES games. I had to play with the rewind feature via the legacy collection for most of the mega mans, but I gave it the college try before so. Still, it feels great and if this is the one game I had to play, i'd play the shit out of it.
