    All the talk about the Magneto mode's Health Bar got me thinking. What was the first game to use a "Health Bar?" I know my Shadow has it with the Farley mode.

    Health bar for the player in Operation Thunder, refuell or the flipper power is cut.

    LW3 during the fight mode?

    Baywatch "Diver Trapped" mode has an air meter that gradually runs out. I call it "ninja turtle" mode in reference to the crappy underwater level from the NES ninja turtle game.
