Has anyone ever completed a game of Pac Man all the way to the end
Believe it or not, a dedicated gamer named Billy Mitchell was the first person to complete a perfect game of Pac-Man. On July 3, 1999, he completed all 256 levels with a maximum score of 3,333,360 points, eating every fruit, pellet, blue ghost and dot without losing a life. It took him 6 hours. The iconic Pac-Man character --- a yellow pizza with a slice missing --- is one of the most recognized arcade game characters in history. The game is on display at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC, along with Pong and Dragon's Lair. Created by the Namco company in Japan, Pac-Man was released in the US just about 30 years ago today. It was meant to appeal to both genders, so the creator, Tōru Iwatani, developed a game that was low on violence and high on the cute factor.
