Pac-Man fever gripped the world in 1980, turning perfectly normal humans into ghost-dodging, pellet-chomping machines. Players dumped entire pockets of quarters into their local arcades, chasing high scores and digital glory... until they discovered their yellow friend had a complete meltdown at a certain point.

"Pac-Man" transforms half the screen into alphabet soup at level 256, creating what's popularly known as a "kill screen." Namco's 8-bit programmers never imagined anyone would be dedicated (or caffeinated) enough to play for the 4-5 straight hours needed to reach this point, leaving the right side of the screen a garbled mess of numbers and fruit that makes finishing the level impossible.
