5. Consoles sure have come a long way. While the Commodore 64 was innovative for its day, it's practically rudimentary by today's standards.

The first person to get a perfect score in #PacMan was Billy Mitchell in 1999 after 6 hours of play.

7. During World War II, the Nazis did something un-Nazi-like: They let Allied prisoners of war play board games.

Specifically, the British government, with the cooperation of the game’s publisher, hid real bank notes among the Monopoly money. Compasses, metal files, and a folded silk map—which was less likely to disintegrate than a paper one—were also concealed inside the box to help the POWs flee their captors. It worked; the soldiers escaped.
