2. Copy the quote from Shakespeare’s final play. “I must uneasy make, lest too light winning make the prize light” (350).

3. How do you earn extra credits in the first version of this game? “When Tempest first hit the arcades, kids discovered that if you died with a certain score, the machine would give you a bunch of free credits” (351). “Here it is! First, you need to rack up over one hundred eighty thousand points. Once you’ve done that, make sure you end the game with a score where the last two digits are Oh six, eleven, or twelve. If you do that, you’ll get forty free credits” (352). 189, 412= 40 free credits!

4. How many Sixers are right behind Wade? “Eighteen of them,” Aech said. “When they stepped through the gate, each one entered a stand-alone simulation. A separate instance of the gate. All eighteen of them are playing Tempest right now, just like you.” (354). 18!
