Having reached the pinnacle of his favourite arcade game, Greg Sakundiak has more than three million reasons to be happy.
"I played as a kid on and off and I ended up getting 3.1 million , and I thought ‘that’s as good as I’m ever going to get,'" he said.
While many vintage arcade games have score counters that can keep rising into the stratosphere, upon reaching 3,333,360 points, Pac Man famously comes crashing to a halt on what is referred to as a "kill screen." While he has spent over a decade chasing the game's kill screen, Sakundiak's record-book-worthy run through the game's gruelling ghost-filled mazes took just over four hours.
