This may be common knowledge to the experts, but until watching a YouTube vid recently, I did not realize that
1. you could kill bowtie things that were in the row right next to you by firing. I thought you could only kill them either when they are coming up the row at you, or otherwise using the super zapp thing. I've learned that if you are quick enough while they have surfaced and are in the row *next* to yours, you can get them there too.
2. I kept looking for a predefined row without a "spike" to use as my doorway to the next level. Little did I realize you can just shoot the spikes and make another *door*.
3. I can start at the level now which starts at *I think* 52000 and by using that I was able to beat my long-standing high score on the machine.
It's great to still be learning more about these classics!
