Wow!! Now THAT'S impressive. And so close to home! I'm about an hour and a quarter from Weirs Beach and have been there several times before.

"Perfect score" achieved on Pac-Man in New Hampshire

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

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.

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.
