Perhaps the reason that hack doesn't get excited when you exit with
the amulet and score 200,000 or so, is that:

1. You don't have to get to the maze to get a real amulet.

2. You get much better scores if you have several amulets (each doubles
your score).

My wife and I have scored over 30 million in games where we exited with
7 and 8 amulets.  Where did all those amulets come from?  Ghosts.

Where did all those ghosts come from?  Well, now...
