nsane.forums Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 From Snake to Pac-Man to Tetris, these games don't actually go on forever.Sure, every game has an ending of sorts. For a certain class of classic game, though, that ending was always of the "You Are Dead Ha Ha Ha!" variety. From Robotron 2084's ever-increasing robot hordes to Missile Command's memorable "THE END" explosion, you went into these games knowing that failure was not just an option, but really the only option.Then there are the games that seem like they should go on forever but, for one reason or another, just don't. Whether it's because of a coding error leading to an unintentional "kill screen" or a simple design choice stopping an otherwise never-ending series of loops, a lot of games that seem unbeatable at first glance can actually be conquered in one way or another.To be clear, these aren't just games that are hard to beat (though most of them are incredibly difficult). These are games that, by all rights, shouldn't have a victory condition yet eventually reach a point where it's technically impossible to keep playing even if you don't fail in any way.

Administrator DKT27 Posted April 11, 2013 Administrator Share Posted April 11, 2013 Ah, nostalgia.BTW, comment on the original article:The tragedy of snake is that if you play it long enough you realize you're literally chasing your own tail. Ah, such a cruel metaphor for life.:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
