One of the greatest framerate drops I remember is from Thunder Force 4 on the MegaDrive. It is in of of the earlier stages, under water. Equipped with the blade weapon, I started shooting at these enemies that immediately started to multiply! The game slowed down and I could still navigate through the swarm of multiplying enemies on-screen. Oh, those wonderful memories. So yes, sometimes it adds to not only gameplay but the overall memory of the game.
