Thanks for the info, VectrexMad!, and congratulations to Rob! I guess you (Rob) are prepared for the discipline 'Star Castle' in the VectorWars 2012, now. ;-) How long did the game take in total? Does Star Castle have a Pause button?

No pause button. You have to build up enough ships so that you can
afford to have them killed off while you get a drink or whatever. I
only took one bathroom break and that was at the 900K mark.
The game was actually shorter than I anticipated. I anticipated 8-10
hours based on my previous 300K performance. But, it took me 6.5 hours
to get the million.
I will never play Star Castle again. There is no reason to. My goal
was to be the first to stream 1,000,000 and I achieved that. I won't
reclaim my title as "Destroyer of the Rings" if someone should top
it. :]
Thanks, Rob, for the detailed info on your Star Castle record. 6.5 hours of shooting rings, buzzing sound and flickering vectors - phew! Again, my congratulations for this excellent effort!

Very well done!
I was just thinking that bringing tying a button to the HALT pin on
the cart could pause almost any game.
