![]() ![]() In no way could it be something that will save the day in the final battle somehow (I swear I’m not reading ahead, I just don’t give Cline any credit for subtlety). It has no item description and can’t be removed so it’s definitely just a little fun prize for his legendary gamer prowess. All that happens is the quarter, once stuck to the Pac-Man cabinet, detaches and is added to Wade’s avatar inventory. To his disappointment, the Jade Key is not revealed. Everything was finally falling in to place. I’d managed to nail all four ghosts with every single power pill (until the eighteenth maze, when they stop turning blue altogether), and I’d snagged every bonus fruit, bird, bell, and key that had appeared, without dying once. Two-hundred and fifty-five screens in and I still hadn’t made a single mistake. But I was now on my eighth attempt, and I’d been playing for six hours straight. I would play for an hour, or even two then I’d make one tiny mistake and I’d have to reboot the machine and start all over. So, to the surprise of no one, our hero does it in eight tries. This is a feat that has only been accomplished about half a dozen times in reality and only a few more than that in Wade’s fictional future world. Returning his attention back to the game, he sees that the current high score displaying is 3,333,350 points, 10 short of a perfect game. Wade plugs in the cabinet, finding it to be operational, and notices a single quarter completely fixed to the rim of the machine. Of note are the several arcade games in the corner of the pizzeria, particularly the “out of order” Pac-Man cabinet. Never was “its existence mentioned on any of the gunter message boards or strategy guides” so Wade is naturally the only person that has ever discovered it. His theory and this trip were a bust.ĭiscouraged by wasting all this time for no gain, Wade decides to take an alternate route back to his ship and stumbles upon a virtual duplicate of Halliday’s childhood pizza joint hangout. Turns out he was wrong and the trophies are hopelessly attached to the exhibit and can’t be removed, collected, or manipulated in any way. Wade’s entire thought process behind coming here is that due to these trophies, he believes a line in the Jade Key poem must refer to them. There sit the five “Game Designer of the Year” awards (given by who?) Halliday received during his life and a damn statue of the man himself, humble guy that he was. Wade makes his way through the massive complex chronicling decades of arcades in order to reach the exhibit dedicated to Halliday’s company. The entire planet is an empty wasteland because, for some reason, all the museums dedicated to classic gaming are underground. Whatever the weather or your mood for the day, you can take your pick and never go out of style.Wade arrives at the planet Archaide and lands on its vector-graphic surface.
