In further news on the story of Billy Mitchell, Guinness World Records has announced that they are also removing Mitchell’s Donkey Kong scores and his records for Pac-Man due to having gained them through emulation software.
Their statement reads.
“The Guinness World Records titles relating to Mr. Mitchell’s highest scores on Donkey Kong have all been disqualified due to Twin Galaxies being our source of verification for these achievements.”
“We also recognize records for First perfect score on Pac-Man and Highest score on Pac-Man. Twin Galaxies was the original source of verification for these record titles and in line with their decision to remove all of Mr. Mitchell’s records from their system, we have disqualified Mr. Mitchell as the holder of these two records. Guinness World Records will look to update and find the appropriate holder of these records in the next few days.”
This is another great step in correcting the situation Mitchell caused.
