A friend of mine can play Q-bert until the arcade shuts down. I am not making
this up! He can go on for 4 hours on one quarter, and sometimes does! I don't
even want to think what his high score is, but he told me that past some level,
the game's difficulty level does not rise anymore. So, if you make past that
without any problems you are guarranteed to go on till your arms fall off.

This friend of mine now works on playing two Q-bert machines at the same time...
