Does anyone else have great memories of playing this game? (possible spoilers)

Since the other one was purged I'm going to make this new one.

My first eight posts will be about each area.
Area 1:
The music has best intro. I don't know how most of you feel about it but I LOVED exploring the rooms that have no real purpose other than weapon upgrades (Homing missiles are all I use from tank though.) I like how you have to backtrack though this awesome area two more times. Not that I like backtracking but I just love the music and the memory of first playing it. When I first beat level 6, I spent hours searching for Area 7 in Area 1 & 2 having no clue where it was. I discovered Area 1 has items right at top of first part of it (You can get them with WALL2, or WALL1 and Hovering across screen). Interesting discovery when I found it, but I was searching for Area 7. I felt stupid when I had forgotten about high room in Area 2 I found when I first played it. So I eventually found it after a few hours in different areas.

Gravity is a myth, the World sucks.

I will do my best to keep this alive this time.

I love Area 7 music too. I also love the music of Area 2. I think that's the largest area map.

Beware of falling objects, like your Karma

Area 2:
-I hate those small snake like bots that are too short, you cannot fire at them with your regular tank gun
Cool Area 2 remix music:

Area 5 Crab Boss: Worst part of game. It's easy to get a few good shots right at first. But on my way to Area 4, I stop in the rooms of Area 1 and get full gun power. If I can get through Area 4 without losing any of it, and then to the crab, he's a breeze.

Too bad that only works on bosses 2, 4, 6 and 7.

Do not consume fruits and nuts because you are what you eat.

The pause trick works on you if you get hit when pausing. The pause trick may not work on the crab but pausing every few seconds while blasting the crab with grenades can take down about 2/3 of his life.

I still prefer full gun power use.

It's like N64's Goldeneye. So few times would I beat a level or get a time cheat. Now I an always complete it everytime I play it.
The crab boss from this game does not change.

Question for anyone in level eight. One of my friends said I was stupid for doing this but at one point there is a huge room with blocks and spikes kind of like a maze. The exit of this room is just under where you start and does anyone else just take damage to the tank by dropping through the first set of spikes for a shortcut?

This sentence contradicts itself. No wait, actually it doesn't.
