What if I beat them all? What if I beat a game with the highest score possible, so high that the game blew up? Would that be sort of like gamer Nirvana?
Well, the original Pacman game didn't blow up, but it did freeze if you managed to get to Board 256, because the programmers figured no one would get that far.
And don't worry about getting the highest score, the first guy to manage to get a perfect game (only one guy, getting every ghost, ever point possible) did it in 1999, and he was freakn' 33 years old (which only makes the story more sad).
