Perfect Pac-Man Score Achieved
For the first time in video game history a perfect score has been achieved for the legendary Pac-Man arcade game.
Twin Galaxies, keeper of video game scores and records, has announced that a perfect score for the legendary Pac-Man arcade game has been achieved. With only one quarter, Billy Mitchell, 33, of Fort Lauderdale reached a score of 3,333,360 points - the maximum allowed by Pac-Man. This record will be placed in next year's edition of the Twin Galaxies' Official Video Game & Pinball Book of World Records.
"I had to be first," said Mitchell. "It's like Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. No matter how many people accomplish the feat afterwards, it will always be Armstrong who will be remembered for doing it first. And, best of all, it was an American."
The six-hour spectacle was recorded on video by Funspot, an arcade family fun center in Weirs Beach, NH. "I never have to play that darn game again," Mitchell sighed in relief. "There's nothing more I can accomplish."
Mitchell holds the world record on for Donkey Kong as well.
