So how long does it take to score 333 330 at Asteroids?
How often do you get an extra ship?
Marp top scores at other clones go over a million, best being over three. I don't know if they used saucer hunting or not but it certainly appears that the game is easily marathonable... so yes, 5 ships would probably be the best way to go.
But for parent romset only or for all romsets? If the rule is added to parent rom - what if the parent rom changes later to one of the clones?
Some games you can marathon but it's still a challenge doing so, since the game can end at any point... for example Tron, Track&Field, Star Wars etc. Of course it depends what you consider a marathon.
But I don't see much point in marathoning a game where you're never close to ending the game... having 20 ships in store etc. Asteroids is one of these, no?
