1.  The last level is hard (and I'm still playing on Rookie.)  Real 
hard.  Real, REAL hard.

2.  I dislike the vulcan cannon guys.

3.  I REALLY dislike the homing missile guys.

4.  I really, really, REALLY dislike the Boss Monster (who I actually 
caught a glimpse of before I got blowed up real good.)

But seriously, folks...

For some reason, it took several gaming sessions for me to be really 
blown away by this game.  Went something like this :

First play : "Hmm.  Cool.  I think I burned out on these 3D games, though."
Second play : "Well.  Is that it?"
Third play : "HM!  This is pretty durn neato."
Fourth play : "Wow!  What an amazing game!"
Fifth play (tonight) : "Whoooaaaaaa..."

The trick is getting comfortable with the game.  Only then can you fully 
appreciate the wonders of this program.

I am a little concerned, though.  I have a 486/66 with 8 megs, and I have 
to reduce the screen size a few times and turn the music off to get 
reasonably smooth operation.  Then I hear people saying "it runs faster 
than DOOM on my 486/33!"  Is this because I'm running a Cirrus VLB 1meg 
video card?  If so, what card should I get?  I wanna run this full 
screen, really I do.
