Walter Day writes: New World Record on Junior Pac-Man Rick Fothergill, the classic gamer from Ontario who poses as Captain Canada in his unending quest to steal every high-score title from the Americans, has struck again. On January 6th, Fothergill put together a three-hour Jr. Pac-Man game that reached the 33rd screen --reaching the 795,000 point mark - a new world record. Fothergill also owns the Super Pac-Man world record and is one of only three classic players to achieve a perfect game on the arcade edition of Pac-Man. Ken Sweet interviewed Rick Fothergill for Twin Galaxies to find why Jr. Pac-Man, the seventh game in the legendary Pac-Man franchise is, indeed, the hardest Pac-Man title of them all. For the full story and an in-depth interview with Rick Fothergill, go to Twin Galaxies.

I have always sucked at Pac-Man games, I'd get killed by the 5th or 6th screen. :)
