Pac Man world record

Someone achieved a perfect game of Pac-Man (3,333,360 points) over the holiday weekend. Here’s what he did:

“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 โ€” where the game ends with a split screen. This must be accomplished on the first man, too.”

And I thought I was hot stuff back in middle school when I played Super Mario Bros. for four days just to flip the score over 10,000,000.
