*Both replays of Mega Man 1 was played through the Legacy Collection.
Mega Man 1 is a solid foundation to an iconic series. The basics are there: jump, shoot, going through levels, beating up robot masters, and getting their abilities. The elements that formulate every Mega Man game came from here. Music is excellent and the visuals are classic, though the backgrounds are pretty basic by NES standards. Only flaws I have is Mega Man's stiff movement through jumps, the Wily Castle bosses, and some enemy placements were cheap. Overall, a solid game that gets beaten out by its sequels.
