JON STOODLEY: PAC-MAN
After getting into Berzerk in 1981, Stoodley took to Pac-Man in competition with his brother, rising to become the best player in the UK. He has an original Midway cabinet, but only practises before a live event. Pursuing the perfect game, he came as close as it gets: “I was perfect on board 255, with just the split screen to go. Unfortunately, after six hours and 30 minutes of gameplay, I made my only mistake at the beginning of that board and threw away the perfect game. Guys from around the world tuned in and the chat room was buzzing.”
