He never actually died. This was released in a local paper, and it appears that the game's motherboard didn't have the capacity to handle that many lives/points, so it fried mid-game.
Does that mean it's now un-beatable?

I'm guessing playing a clone of it on someone's 360 doesn't count then?

It might've just been the game's age, it was a pretty old arcade rig. I'd say it's still beatable, but remember, this wasn't a 'pause-able' game. So unless your friend doesn't mind you staying over for a couple days play non-stop asteroids....XD;

That is absolutely crazy. Sacrificing his lives for basic bodily functions, that's quite the dedication.
Epic irony there.

OT, I think that this sort of thing really shouldn't be done, but good job anyway.
