Invented in 1912 by Clarence Crane, a chocolate maker who wanted a sweet product that wouldn't melt in the summer heat...he decided on a peppermint hard candy in the shape of a cirle with a hole in the middle...since they looked like miniature life preservers, he called them Life Savers & registered the trademark...the 1st flavor was Pep-O-Mint in 1912.
...and isn't it? Video Games frequently use lives as part of their gameplay mechanics. See what you know about death and extra lives in these random games. Good luck!
