disjaukifa Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 After watching him for a while, its amazing how he seems to have each level and each solution memorized. This is fascinating. Marathon gaming is all about the pattern memorization Yeah I've begun to see a pattern in Berzerk when I play noe. I can't describe it but it's like I've figured out which robots are going to shoot next. It's a very strange feeling when I'm right. I kind of feel like I'm predicting gameplay.

Marathon gaming is all about the pattern memorization I can marathon 3 games and none of them have any particuliar pattern, especially Missile Command. EDIT: If there is a pattern I do know it.

VectorGamer Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 It's over! Tim's game ended just shy of 600 million. It's been reported that he built up too many lives and a glitch in the game put an end to the run. I'd like to hear Tim's take on this. I thought he would have been aware of something like this happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he would have been aware of something like this happening. Yep, if you get more than 128 lives you lose them all. He's aware of it as he reported the bug over on the DP easter eggs page (http://www.digitpress.com/eastereggs/arcadenibbler.htm). I'm guessing he lost count because he was too tired. I was actually wondering if this going to happen because every time I check in he was around the 120's. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Lame...Oh well, better luck next time Tim, don't give up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjaukifa Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Thats too bad, I can understand how difficult it must be to game that long and keep your concentration up. Still a good game, I think he can still do it though in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Galaga Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 I guess he may try again next Easter. It's kind of confusing with the lives, since when you get a large number it is a mixture of a letter and a number. His friends were supposed to take turns keeping him awake and watching his extra lives. Someone wasn't paying attention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
