Can he pause the game when he gets tired or need to go to the bathroom?

I hope so because that would be real tough to do without a pause option

Nope, no pause on the original arcade game. I hear he took 30minute breaks every now and then, but the game stayed on when he did that. This means he had to build up the extra guys so he wouldn't lose the game while he was away.

This link is broken can you reupload it so I can watch the whole video and judge what actually can happen.

I like video games and always wondering for best games.

The link was to a live feed. Unfortunately the author (nor his mods) didn't highlight any of the feed so there is no way to watch any of it. Notice it says "No Past Broadcasts" on the bottom. Then again, I am not logged into the site (I won't do that from work, I'd probably get a billion emails to read) so I can't get to the other parts.

EDIT: I logged in and still do not see anything to review past videos. It appears this user registered for this one cast only.
