Article Abstract:

When video games were first introduced, the rules of the games were simple and the hardest part was figuring out how to control the joystick and get the best score in the time allotted. With the ability to "continue" a game now, although it means more money for the manufacturer or the game owner, it takes some of the fun away from trying to get the best score before time runs out.
