We had the map in our heads, it was the password system that made it janky. Getting stuck in pits was <ahem> the pits, too. But as far as the feels are concerned, the original Metroid was an experience I'll never forget. In retrospect it doesn't look or play as smooth as later Metroid games, but at the time it was cutting edge. It was hands down the best game on the system...save for maybe Zelda and Super Mario Bros for the fun factor.
But the fact that Super Metroid took you back to the same world gives me the nostalgia coupled with great gameplay, sound, and sequence breaking to the nth degree makes it a much better experience for my money. Of course you may just be trolling with your comment anyway.
