I learn something new every day.Way back in the olden days, we just had high scores that we tried to beat.
Or we'd just see how far we could get before the game got too unfair and just murdered us. Or until we hit a kill screen and the game became literally unplayable.
I saw a kill screen in Pac-Man once. Turns out the game literally can't load a level higher than 255 because of the way the hex codes work, so half the screen gets filled with garbage data.
