Many old arcade games have this, and they are called "kill screens". There is no programmed "end" to the game, you just keep playing until it runs out of memory, and then just goes all wonky. Some examples: https://gamerant.com/most-infamous-kill-screens-in-video-games/

Game rant went ahead and fully blocked access if you’re using an adblocker? Guess I don’t care enough about their articles to unblock, but still annoying.

I get the sentiment but just in case you wanted to know there is a small grey link at the bottom of that box that says Continue for now or something. It will allow you to read the article.

I noticed that a lot of websites use this particular plugin/service to detect adblockers and they all have this feature which is good for now.
