Tornado Terry's offers an "all-you-can-play" arcade gaming model. For $12.50, you get unlimited play on any of their games. Needless to say, this drastically alters the way most of the games there are played. With the exception of a few older classics, most games give you unlimited continues without losing points so there's no need for concern about your HP. It does sap the fun out of it rather easily, but it also allows you to complete those more challenging games you were never able to because you're not made of tokens.

I got the high scores on The Simpsons Arcade Game, Pac Man and Frogger pretty easily, which tells me the all-you-can-play model really does take away most of the incentive for striving, so the most interesting thing that happened was the glitch I encountered playing Revolution X, that Aerosmith game where you shoot CDs at people and helicopters and stuff.

So there I was in the chemical plant in the Amazon jungle. A bunch of hazmat guys were shooting at me, and I was shooting back. Then more and more hazmat guys appeared and were shooting at me. This is odd, I thought. Can they really expect me to take out this many enemies? But I kept shooting, I probably died at least once but kept going, more kept appearing faster than I could kill them off, following me as the camera moved around on-rails. The screen seemed to gradually get blurrier as hundreds and hundreds of hazmat guys appeared and shot at me. Eventually it got laggy from the excess of hazmats, and after a few more seconds the screen went all Missingno. on me before going to a RAM dump screen.

I'm not sure what happened, but it kind of felt more like an accomplishment than beating The Simpsons.

I just wanted to record that this event happened and I couldn't make it short enough to fit on Twitter. So what interesting arcade game glitches have you guys encountered? The only other one I can remember, aside from light guns not working, is when the Windows start menu somehow came up on a roller coaster ride game at Main Event. I opened up Internet Explorer but it wasn't connected to the web.

OH GOD DAN HARMON WHY DID THEY HAVE TO DO THIS TO YOU I THOUGHT A DAY OF ARCADE GAMES WOULD EASE THE PAIN BUT IT DIDN'T
