This poster was sent to us by a friend of the site. Billy Mitchell’s and Walter Day’s lies about Pac-Man history and the “perfect score” have grown and grown over the years, fed by self-identified “journalists” who never stopped to question what they were being told. But as we will soon see, lies as big as theirs have a hard time withstanding the light of day.

Once thought to be Donkey Kong’s impossible plateau, the 1.2 million mark has been ascended for only the sixth time. A Japanese supergamer known to the public only as “ACU-AZU” recently vaulted to #5 on the all-time leaderboard with a score of 1,210,400 on the original arcade game (U.S. rom set), achieved live at the legendary Daytona …
In December 2020, I got a chance to catch up with “rayfinkel”, aka Justin Elliott. In the summer of 2018, rayfinkel began grinding original Donkey Kong, breaking into the Donkey Kong Forum high score list with a score of 246,900 (193rd place), which became 888,000 by the end of the year. By the end of …
Previously, in my research into the Billy Mitchell case, I had reached out to Steve Kleisath, one-time member of Billy’s defense team. Steve assisted Billy and Carlos Pineiro in their attempts to refute the allegations in the score dispute. Steve was the one to relay Carlos’ technical conclusion that Billy’s game play could not have …
Holy smokes! Where do I begin? Late October, two major rulings came down in the ongoing Billy Mitchell versus Twin Galaxies lawsuit over his fraudulent Donkey Kong scores. The judge has allowed the lawsuit to proceed past the anti-SLAPP stage, citing a “prima facie” case from Mitchell. (“Prima facie” is legalese for “on the face …
Howdy! So it’s been a frustrating week so far, covering this Billy Mitchell case. Not because of the court rulings; those have actually been GREAT, for the most part (as I’ll explain). What’s been frustrating has been the abundance of misinformation, and in some cases (as often happens in matters pertaining to Billy) outright misrepresentation. …
Oh boy, have we got some fun stuff for you all today! Before we get to the real fireworks, very quickly I want to give a quick update to the lawsuit between Billy “Always Has a Plan” Mitchell and video gaming scorekeeper Twin Galaxies, which is still in progress. TG has publicly provided some but …
For many years, Guinness World Records exclusively partnered with Twin Galaxies as its authority on video gaming achievements. For all its flaws, at one time TG was the sole major scorekeeping organization. In 2017, Guinness broadened their scorekeeping affiliations, adding material from speedrunning hub Speedrun.com to their annual “Gamer’s Edition” of the Guinness World Records book. More …
(When disgraced video game cheater Billy Mitchell issued his legal threats to Twin Galaxies and to Guinness in September 2019, along with his flop of an evidence packet which he claimed would exonerate him, I wrote the following series of observations on how the Robert Mruczek MTV interview related to this new “evidence”.
