I had a pretty good look for a backup embed which will work in Germany, but as far as I can tell the blocked one is the only version available with the animation This is a bit of a shame, since my promote would've worked a lot better if the vid was available in Germany

I did find this one, but couldn't work out how to embed:

There is also a live version from the German Music Festival in Paris, but I won't be surprised if it's blocked for you:

Venisons Dear isnt it ?


Yes dear.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to explain. Much appreciated. Rock on, srd. :-)

Well, this explanation is what happens on the hardware level, i.e. in the wiring inside the CPU. On the software side you can emulate the carry-over by allocating several pieces of memory and checking bounds and doing carry-over manually. So you're manually programming around the hardware constraints.

Trouble here is, the programmer has to anticipate that the given constraint isn't sufficient for the use case and needs to be worked around. For scores this was obviously the case. For the levels, I'm pretty sure that noone ever really anticipated that someone would go through 255 levels of pacman.

It's basically the same expectation management on a human level that brought us the fear of the Y2K problem.
