In Ready Player One, Wade Owen Watts completes a perfect Pac-Man game to earn the quarter artifact that turns out to be an extra life. Whats amazing about this is that he completes this in his first attempt!
It usually takes years for anyone to be able to pull off a perfect game! Is there any in-universe explanation how Owen did it on his first try?
And no, Owen did not try before:
Because I knew Halliday loved the game, I’d already done a fair amount of research on Pac-Man. But I’d never managed to play a perfect game. Of course, I’d never really made a serious attempt. Up until now, I’d never had a reason to.
