RE: Tormenting my Wife via Open Source Software
I knew someone (my ex-sister-in-law) who played a game called Load Runner for23 hours straight and finally, the power pack blew up! I'd hate to think how long it could have gone on...
Lode Runner..
An early classic, for sure!

I guess I am old...I remember the excitement when pong came out! LOL
I have some great memories of playing "Breakout" with my grandmother, on a 2600. Kind of pong like..
You hit the ball up, it destroy blocks, and you hit the ball again. Progressively, it gets faster/harder. If you do it right, the ball can get stuck "above the bricks", and it destroys a bunch of bricks for you without you having to do anything.
I remember the first time that happened to us, my grandmother just about lost it. She got SO excited! "LOOK!! LOOK!!" She was in her sixties and as excited as anything that we'd figured something out.
Good times.
Wonderful memories...
