New Pac-Man World Record Set

pacmanscreenThink you’re good at the classic video-game Pac Man?

You’ll have to be very good to beat the new world-record holder, David Race of Beaver Creek, Ohio.

Race recorded a perfect score at the classic video game and did so in a world record time of 3 hours, 41 minutes, and 22 seconds.  The new time beat the previous record by 42 seconds according to videogame record site Twin Galaxies.

According to Galaxies, Race is only the sixth person in the world to achieve a perfect score.  The first person was player Billy Mitchell, who you may be familiar with if you’ve seen the documentary “King of Kong.”

To nail a perfect Pac-Man score, a player must “eat every dot, bonus prize and blue ghost across all 256 levels.” At that point, a glitch in the original game code results in an unplayable stage, effectively ending the experience with a score of 3,333,360.
