I am not sure if this is common knowledge, an anomaly or my machine was glitching. The neighbor kids were over last week and one of them coined up SH. She played a few games, then walked away in the middle of one of them. I was upstairs. After about 15-20 minutes of listening to what I thought was a new attract mode sequence on the game, I finally went downstairs, walked up to the machine and noticed that the sky was dark (signifying night in the game), there were gargoyles in the air and the shooter was just sitting there, still not getting hit/dying after almost 20 minutes. The minute I grabbed the joystick and began firing, the gargoyles got more accurate and killed me within a minute. So what was that? Are you immune from getting hit until you make your first move in Satan's Hollow?
 
Was the game still on the first screen? I have noticed that there is a spot on the first screen where you can sit and the gargoyles can't get you. Kinda like the spot on Pac-man where the ghosts won't touch you. I believe you can move around and then go back to the spot and remain untouched. Not sure if this works when all the gargoyles are there dropping bombs, but it does work if there are only a few.

Interesting, and yes, it had to be the first screen, I don't think those little girls could get much further.
 
I've had kids do that too (leave in the middle of a game) and within a minute all lives are lost, game over. Whoever left yours on must have unknowlingly found a sweet spot.
