Early ROM revisions of the game presented a situation which a player could periodically exploit to accumulate an indefinite number of points with low risk. The player could maneuver an enemy knight too close to the lava, such that the lava troll would grip it, but not low enough that the troll would succeed in pulling it in, and not high enough that the enemy knight could escape. By doing so, the knight could not attack the player and the wave would never end. The player could then stand in the middle of the central platform to safely face oncoming pterodactyls, striking them in the mouth merely by standing still. Pterodactyls would appear at an increasing rate from different sides of the screen to be killed repeatedly, scoring large amounts of points toward extra lives.

Comon, at least paraphrase when you get the answer from a website. Give yourself a little class.

Is that worse than spamming 5 random answers?

Mmm, eat them like popcorn

What game, system, and what does it signify?

Man 5 hours and no guesses?

Do we need to send rescue squads out to the usual suspects?

It sounds like the system has to be the SMS, not sure which game though.
