Free games

Somewhere for the annoying and/or off-topic threads to go. Feel free to post about whatever, but abuse will still be dealt with, and possibly with more force. Especially pac-porno. ;)

Well! There is only one game that I know of that will award you a free games without inserting coin by using a special tricks.

Destination Earth is one of them.

When the demo screen come up. Hold Right + Fire button down. Wait until the mothership move left to right then the spaceship start to descend from the mothership, press player 1 button once or more while right+fire button is still down. The game will award you 3 free games.

The real machine use left + right and fire button down. I'm not sure why Mame version use right + fire button only?

This trick won't work on Lunar Rescue or any Space Invaders clones (with hack version w/o Taito copyright, AFAIK)

Here the replay showing how the trick works. Use Wolf106.

Have Mahlemiut move this replay to Hint, Easter Egg, and Bug trick page.

Highest score I done that game was around 28k long time ago.

Ln2, there is a difference between an in game advertised proceedure,
and a 'hidden' feature as notman states above.
.
TempesT
has a hidden
sequence of moves
that awards credits.
.
i think?

Gotta agree with Tar on this one.

Mr Do: Random Diamond. Advertised during attract mode
Ladybug: Spell Special while red. Pretty much advertised.

Destination Earth sounds like a bug, as does Tempest. Rygar would be in the same category depending on the settings.

Cheers

There are a lot of weird quotes and shit in the Sonic Wings / Aero Fighters series...

...but what do you expect from a game where one of the playable pilots is a dolphin? :)
