Pac-Man World Record broken, again

by Sam Naylor on September 14, 2009

level-256

Kotaku reports that the world record for playing Pac-Man has once again been broken. The last record was set by getting every pill, every possible ghost, every piece of fruit and playing until level 256, where the game crashes. The previous record for this was done in 3 hours, 42 minutes, and 4 seconds.

The new guy, David Race, has managed it in 3 hours, 41 minutes, and 22 seconds, 42 seconds faster. Although an impressive feat, it kind of makes me a little sad. These people have spent what is likely to be years practising a Pac-Man perfect run, simply to shave off 42 seconds. I’m not saying that they’ve wasted their time, but… well, actually, I am.

Thinking about it, if we were invaded by ghost-like aliens who turned blue when we ate big pills and chased us through mazes, I know who I’d go to for help. Maybe it wasn’t such a waste after all.

At one point in time, “Pacman” was synonymous with Adam Jones. The two were inseparable. Ask Forrest Gump, and he would tell you they were like “peas and carrots”. His NFL jersey even featured the initial “P”. If you are asking yourself, “why would Adam part ways with Pacman?”, allow us to explain… Read more…

The golden era of videogames is a hot topic among gamers, mainly because many game enthusiasts don’t agree when the gaming utopia took place. Read more…

Even Namco’s Pac-Man would have a hard time swallowing these numbers.

After initially delaying a formal announcement in June while the company calculated their “goodwill impairment charge” Atari of America, headquartered in New York, has released a financial statement today reporting a net loss of (cover your ears Pac-Man) $71.3 million. Read more…
