Lunar Lander most certainly does have a free-play mode...mine is currently set
up for free play. The attract mode continues, but the lamp for "training
mission" is always lit (compare to normal mode where ALL lamps are lit).

Space Duel is one exception.

Nope. Still trying to get Clay to hack the EPROMs for this :-). Star Trek,
Tac/Scan, and maybe upright Eliminator loose their attract mode when credits
are on the screen.

Bally Midway games also suffer from not having a free play mode. Tapper, DOT,
etc. You can wire the coin and credit switch together for DOT environmental,
but for the others you'd need to do something special to credit two player
games. I think Rampage does have free-play.
