I started playing Leprechaun. I made a mistake early being aggressive and had 198,000 on my first life. I had a slip on the keys due to sweating fingers and lost my second life at 280,000. I then fell into a ridiculous leeching trance and zipped off the entire bounty on my third life. Not caring about the rest, I let my remaining life go while I took a more than much needed bathroom break. The game lasted five hours and fifteen minutes and left me with an agonizing pain in my guts from "holding it" for the last two hours of this run. Having beaten the entire bounty score on my third life, the final score was around 1,804,000.
Conveniently, MAME DIDN'T RECORD ANY OF IT!!! :evil: :evil:
Is there some threshhold of memory or time that would cause it to just quit? (My estimate was that the file would have been 40-45MB.)
