I found this in the history.dat file.

It a trick for Ghost & Goblins.

"It is well known that if you duck and shoot a tombstone 15 times, an angel appears and fires a bolt that turns you into a frog. Interesting bug: if you fire this bolt *just* as your time is about to run out, you'll turn into a frog INSTEAD of being killed by time over. It wraps around to negative time or something and you have virtually unlimited time. (He recommends standing two rocklengths away from the rock, and firing the 15th shot at time 0:02. If you're just slightly late, the bolt will still 'reincarnate' you but your character will appear distorted and you will be stuck in a ducked position). Use this trick in combination with the above cave trick, and you're pretty much set. If you perform the above trick but don't get the timing correct, your frog/man will be split in two and very messy in aspect. The game is much harder for a scrambled knight!"

yes you're right : infinite time is another technic (different from extra life leeching) also to ban for gng . I sent a month ago an input to qt showing this trick on the first level (it can be done on any tombstone) ... I think it should be add to the "ban technics" page

I think that this "bug" or whatever it is should be banned. I remember that some kid in our arcade came across this "timebug" by accident and the scores on the high scorelist was changed forever after that! This is by my opinion NOT a part of the game... Ban the timebug please! I will NOT use it!
