Did you know the arcade version of Pac-Man is impossible to beat? Very few players ever reached Level 256, but those who did found the game completely broken. �

Here’s why:
� Pac-Man tracks levels using an 8-bit value, which means it can only count from 0 to 255.
� When the game tries to go from Level 255 to 256, it loops back to zero—but Pac-Man doesn’t know that.
� The fruit counter suddenly tries to draw 256 fruit icons instead of just seven, pulling junk data from the game’s sound files, corrupting the screen into a scrambled mess.
� To complete a level, Pac-Man must eat 244 pellets—but thanks to the glitch, only 168 exist, making it literally unbeatable.

The infamous Level 256 is one of gaming’s most legendary bugs—thanks, Clyde!
