This gaming classic has a bug in it that prevents it from being completely finished. This bug occurs at the 256th board, where it will cause an overflow in the the 8-bit byte distinct values. As a result, the final board as unplayable, with the right half replaced by a series of garbled symbols and letters. Read on for more...

How can I prevent this glitch? Edit

You can't with normal arcade machine versions. Some versions, however, have a board reset after completing the 255th board, meaning you start again at the first board with your score staying the same as you left it before the reset. This allows you to continue with the game without being attacked by the bug. However, this is assuming that you would actually WANT to complete the game, and not encounter the glitch.

Supposedly, you COULD beat the level, as the garbled mess actually still represents something, but it is VERY unlikely anyone could.

So what does this mean for me? Edit
