I watched the original Tron 1982 on TV around the mid-80s, when I was only a little kid, and I remember that the visual effects blew my mind. But if you watch it for the first time in today's age, it will probably be impossible to not see it through the lens of modern effects and thus be less impressed by it.
Back in 1982 there were no computer animation programms, you had to manually input the coordinates for every single frame. So there is only about 15-20 minutes of actual computer generated animation in that movie. A lot of it is traditional hand drawn animation and matte paintings, made to look like computer animation.
I would recommend watching Tron 1982 before Tron Ares 2025, because there are references to the original movie. Although they are mostly nostalgic in nature and therefore not relevant to understand the plot. Strangely, Tron Ares acts more like a sequel to the original movie than to Tron Legacy, at least in my opinion.

Is the 1982 Tron worth checking out? We figured Tron Legacy was a new version of the old one.
