Our plan was for four of us to play until our eyes bled, pause the game, turn off the TV and return at a later date to continue the carnage. This cycle worked, and continued for probably about a week and a half or around 4 or 5 play sessions of numerous hours. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "Elf needs food, BADLY!" and all of the other warnings. Anyways, we were getting close; I believe we were into the upper 70's but we were getting pretty burned out on the game so we decided to take a couple days off and then do a monster weekend marathon to finish this shit.
I show up at his place Friday night and we were ready to rock. We take our spots on front of the TV and he starts turning on the TV when he realizes that SOMEONE TURNED OFF THE NINTENDO. I seriously thought he was going to lose his mind... the look on his face went through so many emotions at once, his eyes kind of glazed over, his face started to get red (he was pissed) then I think he almost started to cry. After about 45 seconds of stunned silence, I just started laughing my ass off, and soon we were all laughing hysterically like idiots. Later we found out that his mom had decided to watch her soap's on that TV that day, noticed that the Nintendo was on and turned it off.
Since that time I have never EVER played Gauntlet again... even though my friend tried on multiple occasions to start up the crusade, he was shot down by everyone. We were done with that game.
As a side note, my friend with the theory went on to work for Intel designing CPU's so I guess even then (sophomore/junior in High School) he had a pretty good grasp of understanding the hardware an their limitations. Who knows if he was right or not?
