smoke4659 is attempting a 100 million point marathon for Robotron's Anniversary today.
Streaming on Twitch:
https://www.twitch.tv/smoke4659

He's using the Yellow unpatched roms that has the corner shot reset glitch for added intensity!
Been at it for 5.5 hours so far and has managed 2x 10 million score roll-overs and is working on his third. Not sure how many lives he has in the bank, but I think he's going to trudge through the lives roll-over and just plow ahead. This guy is living on the edge!

40 million now, just under 8 hours.  This is happening!

Woohoo!

Thanks Opt2Not. I just started watching (I had to watch a lame ass movie preview first).

He's at 60M and ~13 hours as of right now.

Thanks for the link btw, opt2not. I've had it open on a second monitor for six hours now (we chatted briefly, I'm 'feetus" on twitch).

He made it to 100m even after rolling the lives back to zero at 49mill and the machine developed a graphic bug at 95mil to the end.

Here is a decent little rendering of the 2084 prototype marquee owned by DeMar.

Story goes that Jarvis wanted the name changed to 2084: Robotron.  So Mike Stroll had the art all switched.  Then Eugene begged to get the name changed back which they did.  Steve Ritchie came up with the original name and was a proponent for keeping it.
