pacman nes glitch

alright, so i was playing pacman not that long ago (not today though). and i spent hours playing through with no game overs (pacman is one thing im pretty good at, so this was normal). and of course, i was having loads of fun, im usually happier when i can play through easily. this is why i gave up super mario 3d world for the time being, cuz i am literally making no progress at all on that game. im stuck on those stupid world crown levels (and have been for a very long time), and its getting to the point where my fury just peaks and i end up screaming to get my rage out. i kind of feel like giving up on that, by the way....cuz im literally getting nowhere with those levels. im even starting to think its impossible. no progress there: none. ok, so anyways...i think like 2 hours passed while i was playing pacman? idk, cant remember. but at some point, my game just freaked. now, im going to tell you that this will probably sound like bullcrap, but im not making it up. ok, so here's what happened: there were no dots: literally. zero. and strangely, the ghosts were still there. so, i was trapped in the level. the only way out was a game over; and of course, i didnt like that. my fury peaked instantly: "how am i supposed to..?!! i've got no way to..!!" then, i just powered off the game, and sat there screaming. while that was happening, mother opened my door and came in. the first thing she said was "hey, whats going on, sweetie? are you ok?" of course, i had immediately gone silent when she came in. i was too breathless to respond. she sat beside me on my bed, then said "did somebody make you mad again?" then, i said "no mother...i beat all those levels on pacman, and then....ugh!!" "whoa, easy...its ok. its over. how about you play a different game for a while?" i sighed, then said "yes, mother..." then she just gave me a hug and a kiss, and left the room. that was actually the first time i ever got that glitch on pacman. its never happened to me before, so it kind of got me by surprise (unfortunately). but i didnt play that game for the remainder of the day. i thought it was best to listen to mother, just for my own good.
