Alas, my high score in Robotron is only 8M, and that was on a 20,000
machine...

A friend of mine who could play Robotron forever described how he and two of
his friends went to the local arcade one morning and played ONE game of 
Robotron until that evening.  Total score:  ~37M.  The game with a nasty
surprise:  One of the players made a sacrifice play for the 256th man, and
alas!  The extra-man counter rolled over to zero and he sacrificed what
suddenly became the last man.
