The game does not end at level 256. The stage counter turns into numbers at stage 200, indicating it could go
up to stage 999. Also, since the scoring has 6 digits, 999,990 is the maximum score, but if you score in the millions, a small galaga ship for each million is located under the numbers, going up to 6 million. At 7 million, this changes to text reading "HERO 7". Once the score reaches 10 million, this becomes "HERO A" and starts going through letters.
