40-year-old David Race of Beaver Creek, OH has become the 6th gamer in history to gain a perfect score on the original Pac-Man video arcade game.  42 seconds faster than the previous record holder!

A perfect score on Pac-Man requires a gamer to eat every dot, bonus prize, and blue ghost across all 256 levels before a glitch in the game code places the player into an impossible to complete stage.  The perfect score of 3,333,360 was first done officially by Florida’s Billy Mitchell in 1999 and followed up upon by other gamers in years after that, including Canada’s Rick Fothergill, Florida’s Chris Ayra, Minnesota’s Tim Balderramos, and New Hampshire’s Donald Hayes.
