So, I played Shoplifter a ton as a kid and never knew you could do this until sometime last year.
When you have hostages loaded in the helicopter and get shot down, you loose the hostages, and there are fewer for you to rescue and the ones that die get account for under lost.
However if you get shot down and move the joystick up and down while pushing the buttons they actually eject out and parachute down to the ground safely. On your next life they will be walking around on the ground somewhere, or in the case of the level with ships they are swimming in the water.
Some of you probably already know this, so no surprise.
However, I was telling a couple of the local guys about this and they didn't believe me.
So, heres a couple photos from last night of me getting shot down and the hostage parachuting out. Pretty cool. Cant believe I played this as long as I did without knowing this. LOL
