Games with no rollover (or almost impossible rollover)

I was wondering, what are the most well-known arcade games with no rollover or an impossible/almost impossible rollover (one that no one has ever legitimately achieved)?

For no rollover, I can really only think of Circus Charlie, while for unobtainable rollover (I actually do not know if they have rollover, as I have never seen anyone do it), Berzerk comes to mind because of potential un-survivable rooms, and possibly Colony 7 because of situations where you can only either protect your cannon or a colony. Both of those have high scores about half what I assume the rollover score is (1,000,000), but from experience playing them I doubt it is possible to get much higher.

Can anyone think of any others?
 
Does Robotron ever roll over? I've seen pretty high scores that show the entire thing...

Robotron rolls at 10 mil, which is trivial for a skilled player. That's a warmup game for Robo players. :)

Hmm... For impossible to roll, Giga Wing 2 maybe? Scores in the quintillions and just keeps going.

For no rollovers, add Wild Western to the list. I believe it maxes at 999,990 like Circus Charlie.

Space Harrier I think shows the full score, with world records in the low 40 mil range. Likely rolls at 100 mil but I'm sure we'll never know.

I don't think AfterBurner rolls. You can put it on free play and keep adding ships until you finish the game and it just keeps adding...
