Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year is Pac Mans 37th birthday and I'm attempting to do what only 8 guys in the world have done in those years. Play a perfect arcade game of Pac Man .... 3,333,360 points.

I'm also going to attempt to beat the current WR score for Pac Man, playing on the 20th Anniversary machine, which lets me pass level 256!
The current score stands at 6.3 million points by Tim Balderramos of the US.
I'll need to play for over 10 hours too!! 😰


There has been literally billions of games of Pac Man played in that time and for some, 'perfect' Pac Man is the Holy Grail of classic retro gaming. This will take me about 6 hours 20 minutes and I can't lose a life or miss ANYTHING for 256 boards. That includes eating every ghost, with every power pill, every time. 

Supporters of my attempts include the worlds elite Pac Man players - Bill Mitchell, Tim Balderramos, Donald Hayes, David Race, David Cruz, Rick Fothergill,  Greg Sakundiak and the boss at Twin Galaxies International scoreboard, Jace Hall. I'm streaming it live too! See it at - twitch.tv/pacman83

On 22nd August 2015, I achieved the perfect game, live at the Replay event in Margate.

I'm supporting a local charity called Blackpool Carers. It helps young people support sick parents and loved ones. It's an amazing cause.
