Arcade Titles with Scores that Increment AFTER Game Over
I just found out this past week at ACAM that "Death Race" adds points to your final scores (after game over) based on the "gremlins" running into the final positions of player cars on the playfield after the game ended. That explained the team score of 51 spotted at ACAM (13-vs-33) which would have been a new world record.
I can only think of "Astro Fighter" as another arcade title with this feature after the game ends...the score increases based on comets shot during the subsequent demo screens, thus explaining a 60-65K score that Fred Pastore spotted at ACAM several years back when we were heavily playing this title.
Does anyone know of other arcade titles where the score can increase after game death due to subsequent demo screens ?

Cosmic Chasm mystery bonus
Cosmic Chasm, at least the emulated version, adds 100-450 points to your score after you lose your last ship @ "game over" for reasons unknown. Sometimes you get no extra points. The "mystery bonus" shows in your updated score when you enter your initials (different score than the screen you died on...or not sometimes).

I should really go back and figure out why it does this someday.
