Whoever thought it was a good idea to always start the game at 30 HP needs to have a golf club smashed directly into their kneecaps. Astoundingly bad design to force the player into farming for their health back upon continuing, hopefully they blackballed the guy responsible for that decision forever from game development.

The theme for Kraid's Lair is still my first love when it comes to good game music at least, so it still has something going for it besides nostalgia and Ridley's adorable sprite.
