Still non-game? How about a situation (I almost said "game") where you can only lose? There's no winning, the best you can hope for is to survive for longer before inevitably losing. Game or non-game? (n/t) from Sweater Fish Deluxe.

yah, any looping game from the 'golden age' of arcades counts there.

So then there has to be a "game over" in order for it to be a game? Is that what we're going with? What if "game over" can only come after, say, seven years of uninterrupted play?

So then, winning is optional but there has to be a "game over" in order for it to be a game, is that the deal? Good, that means Touchdown! The Alien Attack counts as a game (assuming you're willing to play continuously for seven years to get the game over screen). I was worried there for a minute.
