Lock requested, lock accepted because obviously the thread's not going to go anywhere now. |

Dracoon: Don't feel too bad. If you really want to see it, load up a post preview with the image link copied/pasted around 300 times. :\ |

Pac-Man goes up to 256. Level 256 is where the game gets screwy, since the game code can only go up to 255 (FF) in hex... so you get a level where half of the board looks fine and the other half is random garbage. In other words, you'd need PERFECT knowledge of the maze to get through the level since you're flying blind on one half of it.
Nobody has apparently beaten the level through legitimate means, but *IF* it was to happen, you'd start back at Level 1. So technically Pac-Man has infinite levels but the odds of making it past 256 are slim to none. |

Never made any difference with any of my old GB games... saves always worked perfectly fine and I still *have* saves on some games. |

And yet nobody ever asks me if I'm working, and the answer would be "No, but I'm actively looking". :\ Strange. |

Taryn: Krispy Kreme's are in New South Wales according to their website. :\ Not your neck of the woods but if they take off there... maybe in a year or two you'll understand. |

Trapster: That depends on your definition. All cancer can be treated and cured if it's caught in time and hasn't spread. The odds aren't 100%, but they're certainly in your favor. The more advanced it is, the lower the odds. |

That commercial has not graced Canadian screens as of the time I type this post.
See, we have *some* common sense after all. |

Well, that was certainly a straight-forward way of introducing yourself. Make sure to read the FAQ before getting totally absorbed.

I haven't heard any reliable sources say that the games will be free. Best I found was stuff saying that *some* games will likely be made free as part of promotions, special offers, etc... then again, they have at least a year to figure out which companies are in and what the costs should be. |

I've never seen them either but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
Still, I'll take a 99.99% reliable save file over a 30-character password anyday. |

Could there possibly be some copy protection in the game itself that detects whether or not the console's modded? Some games do have that... there's likely ISO patches/Game Shark codes that'll remove it if that's the face. |

I would doubt the "new games" theory but you never know. Maybe if a developer gets realllly bored. But odds are they'd want to focus efforts on next-gen stuff.
Nintendo could always offer a version of SMB3 with the extra GBA levels, for instance. Or the bonus Yoshi's Island levels from SMA3. |

...There's only one level in Pac-Man, HH. I'm not sure if anything's really visible on that side to begin with... not knowing how many dots you have left would be a problem. |

Don't listen to Kitten Yiffer. Just... don't. I don't think we're THAT desperate for new content yet. |

Taryn should really have one within the next week or so. :\ I think she'd be pleasantly surprised.

Most people involved in the Masterlock Challenge are local indy wrestlers. They're not THAT stupid.
I think the Heidenreich thing is totally random though. |
