The guy has gone 33 years without sleep and is still healthy... wow, I could get a lot of work done at night if I had this problem.

I can't find a picture of the "Alives" from Armitage III. sad.gif

The mind is supposed to go insane after a few nights without sleep. I believe canadian military did a study, gave some guys that blocked the neurotransmitter or something so the people would not sleep, have not seen any results from it. Searching PsychInfo at the library should pop up some articles. I suggest "insomnia" or "sleep deprivasion" as searches

he could be using something like micro-sleep without realizing it.

Yeah. It's a PS2 game - it was released Nov 15th. I should download ROMs for the first few games. It looks like 1-4 were Famicom/NES, 5 and 6 for Super Famicom/SNES.

Edit: My bad, 5 and 6 were never released in the US. I can probably find ported ROMs, though.
