And don't forget Aliens in the Outback, either. A ship passes overhead and, if you shoot it, drops a payload. You don't know what's in it, but if you run over and pick it up quickly enough, you can use the contents later. If you don't get there quickly enough, it vaporizes, and you never know what was in it. It is usually a missile, the ability to move across the screen faster, adding machine gun capability to your weapon, or some other nice little gem.
