Honestly many Megaman series fans hate on the original too much, while there are definitely questionable design choices in Mega Man 1, it's quite commendable how much was done right for this first entry and its weird differences from later mega man games (such as boss corridors containing enemies, not being able to slide, spikes being able to still kill you during iframes etc.) gives this game a unique kind of charm compared to other Mega man or Mega man-styled games.

also lmao at the US box art it's still a work of art for sure
