I'm doing some remodeling in the basement, so all of my game stuff is currently boxed up. When I went down there on the morning of the 20th, I heard a faint beeping. So I stopped and listened. That sound is burned into my memory. It's Altered Beast! Whatever box it is in, it must have turned on when I was moving everything.
So I can hear the game start, then I hear the player get unmercifully beaten up and die, then the game eventually starts over. The thing is, there's no time-out or auto-off feature, so it just keeps going and going. As of last night, it was STILL playing! And the strangest part is that the two AA batteries in there have been in there since God knows when. 10-20 years? I'm surprised the batteries haven't leaked. But even still, that they've been sitting this long and the game has been running for something like 120 hours now. Granted, those handhelds don't use much power, but still. I can't wait to find out what brand batteries those are!
