Arcade hidden game tips!

[ZuPoint]

Hi all.
This was going to be a neo only thread but in the interest of the United gamers group I'll open it up.
I was playing my Neo last night and in a fit of rage I turned off Viewpoint

I then booted up Top hunter to give it a go.
While playing i panicked and did a fire ball move (AKA street fighter )
So I tried a few more SF moves and got a uppercut and a sliding tackle .
This game has gone up in my list as it's now a fighter/platformer/shooter.

My question is:-
What hidden tips do you know about Arcade game that may not be well known?

EG, viewpoint- game spawns extra bombs if you have a slot left for it.
Viewpoint - tap fire longer and slower for a medium fire fate ( not holding down for big blast )
Metal slug has multiple paths on some levels.
Pulstar / viewpoint - your shield orb can be used to kill by touching.

What you got?

Gauntlet 2

When you die and it's game over, it remembers the level that you die on and that becomes the new level 6 on the next game that you play. If it's a particularly tough level then you can reset/turn off the machine to get a new random level 6 (but you will have less chance of getting the secret room).

If you can not switch the machine off/on or reset the game you can take advantage of a bug to crash the game which will force it to reset. In the attract mode, wait for the elf to use the transporter. While he is transporting, press one of the buttons (I cant remember if it is shoot or magic, or maybe either) and the game will crash and then reboot and you should get a new level 6.
