💥ANNOUNCEMENT💥
We are excited to announce that we will be joined by Jon Stoodley at NCN. Jon will be playing Pac man at Neon City North on an arcade cab kindly donated by Arcade Club Leeds.
Here is a little bit about Jon:
"In 1983, at 14 years old, I achieved an 'unofficial' World Record on Pac Man. I am one of 7 people in the world and the first European to achieve this. I achieved a score of 3,221,000 splitscreen.
The splitscreen is the definitive ending to the original Pac Man arcade game.
The game uses 8bit programming, which, at board 256, only allows half of the maze to appear.
I will attempt to emulate my perfect game at NCN which will take approximately 6 hours.
On several boards later in the game, the power pills only last 1 second. You MUST eat all ghosts on every one of these boards for the perfect game."
