This is unbelievable...Congratulation-but what about peeing in 8 hours???

I went to the bathroom once. There's a point somewhere in the recording where I take a break that's bit over a minute

"Yes that would be legal, for about 1-5 mins, respectably.

Such as, if a bathroom break is needed, or to shake your hand from cramps, it's ok... but no long lunch breaks etc...it must be a session of gaming, not to "vacation" between each 10ks or something."

For your 8-hour marathon, usage of pause is LEGAL at my own discretion on Astroblast! With this consideration I voted YES!

Good criminy!

I never got too good at Astroblast.

Fair Play to you man thats some achievement

Practice with the right difficulty set to A. It sets the game's difficulty at the highest (equivalent of when you hit 50,000pts on Game B) and play with a good pair of paddle controllers. Once you get good enough on Game A to stay around 90 to 80 lives you should be good enough to marathon this game.

Or you can practice on Game B if you're not used to everything possibly being at the highest speed.

I had it as a kid and just played it a little for something different, whenever I got tired of other games.  I think I didn't know I could play it with paddles...
