    We should start saying that kid that got the Pac man Tetris kill screen is the greatest arcade game player in history. Just to piss this weird old man with a dyed “beard” and cheap AF looking American flag tie.

          The Level 157 kill screen. Level 29 was called a kill screen because it’s nearly unplayable. But around 2019, it was becoming routine for matches to be decided in post-29 play. The level 29 killscreen was jokingly dubbed the thrillscreen. (don’t worry. the name didn’t last.)
