that's classic, except for the fact that the pheonix machine initially made moon cresta noises! that would have been awesome for pheonix to give free games back then too!

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.

cmon.... Mr Do, Ladybug off the top of my head have where you can earn a "special" and pop a credit.

I am sure there are others...just can't think of them off top of my head.

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.

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?
