Aye. This is the first level most people will remember having lava. Even the name suggests it. While it's a small level, it's aesthetically designed by Jason Jones. In particular, the long corridor after the start leading to the pattern buffer.
It's famous for The Eggheads Count Roland, Mjolnir Recon number 54, CUPIDITAS PRAEMIUM SUUM EST, and Jason leaving a pile of ammo on the lava!!! Interestingly, it uses no superglue or glue triggers.
But it's not the first level that lava appears on. :)
