That's one of the things I liked about some of the Activision games that give you the "!!!!!!" or whatever when you get one million. It gives you the sense of finality as well as a neat visual reward for your effort. It also stops you from playing a game forever

For games whose scores would otherwise always be multiples of ten, why not do another add-with-carry on the LSB (after doing the MSB)? This would mean that if the player had 999,990 points and got 100, their score would go to 91. Unless they flip the counter nine more times, the last digit would show how many times it was flipped.
