WEIRS BEACH, NH -- For the first time in video game playing history, a perfect score was achieved on the legendary arcade game, Pac-Man.

On July 3, 1999 at 4:45 P.M., taking nearly six hours to accomplish the feat--on one quarter--Billy Mitchell, 33, a Fort Lauderdale hot sauce manufacturer visiting the famous Funspot Family Fun Center in Weirs Beach, NH, scored 3,333,360 points--the maximum possible points allowed by the game. The results will go into next year�s edition of the Twin Galaxies� Official Video Game & Pinball Book of World Records--which is the official record book for the world of video game and pinball playing.

Though the Funspot is a world famous vacation spot, Billy Mitchell was not there to enjoy the holiday festivities. Mitchell was there for the sole purpose of beating the Canadians to the Holy Grail of video game playing: history�s first perfect game on Pac-Man.

To get a perfect game on Pac-Man, the player has to eat every dot, every energizer, every blue man and every fruit up to and including board 256--where the game ends with a split screen. This must be accomplished on the first man, too.
