In July of 1999, Florida resident and die-hard Pac-Man fan Billy Mitchell achieved the first perfect score in Pac-Man (3,333,360) after playing for six hours straight. He beat all 256 screens eating every dot, fruit, and ghost (all four ghosts were eaten with each power pellet) - using only one Pac-Man!

I remember reading, as a kid, a whole novel on how to beat Pacman and a different book on games like Space Invaders, etc. Because early games devolved into patterns, I guess someone with a good memory could breeze by them. As someone above said, they totally changed it for Ms. Pacman, though there are numerous strategies that work for that game too.

I can remember back in '84 or so I bought a book on Pac Man patterns. The patterns worked on most of the machines but some of them had been "fixed." I know one time I played up to the ninth key but my Dad pulled me out of the Arcade. I bet I still have that book in my folks Attic.
