▋ DUMPING CORE... PLEASE WAIT_

Just kidding!

...or are we?

Did you know that the original Pac-Man (1980) was designed with infinite levels? Namco's developers never imagined anyone would reach the end — but at Level 256, an 8-bit integer overflow caused the level counter to wrap from 255 back to 0. The game didn't crash — instead, the right half of the maze filled with corrupted memory garbage, leaving 9 pellets in unreachable tiles and making the level impossible to clear. This became known as the legendary "Kill Screen."

▋ DECRYPTING TARGET PROFILES_

Know your hunters.

Pac-Man (1980): every ghost has a personality.

● BLINKY — The Pursuer. Locks on and chases Pac-Man directly.
● PINKY — The Ambusher. Targets four tiles ahead of where you're facing.
● INKY — The Flanker. Triangulates with Blinky to cut you off.
● CLYDE — The Coward. Chases hard when far — bolts for his corner when close.

Toru Iwatani's team designed each ghost to feel different on purpose — they were the first video game characters with distinct AI personalities.
