To me, no first game has been as great as Castlevania 1, which is a game essentially without flaw.

Agreed. There's very few effectively perfect games but that is one of them for sure.
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up. Waiting for the showers to stop. Waiting for the penny to drop. One time. And I’ve been standing in a cloud of plans. Standing on the shifting sands. Hoping for an open hand. One time.
