Read full article: South Florida video gamer Billy Mitchell gets Guinness World Records back

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Billy Mitchell is once again the King of Kong.The Weston resident had his Donkey Kong and Pac-Man records reinstated by Guinness World Records on Thursday, two years after they were stripped on allegations that he cheated. In the light of compelling new evidence received by Guinness World Records, the Records Management Team has decided to reverse decisions made in April 2018 in regards to videogame high scores achieved by Billy Mitchell between 1982 and 2010, Guinness said in a news release. The reinstated records include the first perfect score in Pac-Man (achieved in July 1999) and four Donkey Kong high scores recorded in 1982, 2005, 2007 and 2010. It took more than two years and an abundance of indisputable facts, eyewitnesses, and expert testimony to prove all of my records were legitimate.Broward County video game icon Billy Mitchell had his Donkey Kong and Pac-Man world records reinstated by Guinness. Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, said the appeal process included reexamining evidence and soliciting new eyewitness testimony.
