Talk:level 99

RFV discussion: May–November 2022
There are lots of arbitrary levels, is 99 one of significance? - TheDaveRoss  13:18, 26 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Could be related to how levels/stats/scores/etc in video games tend to max out at numbers consisting of all 9s. Binarystep (talk) 04:40, 27 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I've never heard this myself. The entry seems to be poor quality anyway. Is this really an adverb? If so, why is the definition like a noun? Equinox ◑ 13:56, 28 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Ninety-nine is frequently the maximum level that characters can reach in video games. This probably harkens back to the NES/SNES era when battery save states made the extra bits required for recording three- or four-digit levels more difficult to justify.

 * I've only been able to dig out one cite and there it is used as an adjective, not as an adverb. &mdash; Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 19:17, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I've dug up another cite. This one might be a bit questionable though. &mdash; Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 01:06, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
