Billy Mitchell is an American video-game player, best known for his record scores in arcade games. He initially began working at his family-owned restaurant and had no interest in video games back then. Mitchell developed his interest in video games when games such as 'Donkey Kong' and 'Pac-Man' were released. He eventually became a regular at 'Twin Galaxies,' and thus began his journey as a video gamer. A photo shoot with established gamers earned him national prominence. Mitchell discovered and achieved the first 'Pac-Man' perfect score. He eventually recorded high scores for 'Donkey Kong' games, too. Mitchell held several records in classic games, but in 2018, 'Twin Galaxies' and 'Guinness World Records' canceled his previous 'Donkey Kong' scores and even barred him from submitting scores in future. Mitchell has been featured in many video-gaming documentaries, such as 'Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade' (2007), 'The King of Arcades' (2014), and 'Man vs. Snake: The Long and Twisted Tale of Nibbler' (2015). He also owns the 'Rickey's World Famous Restaurant' chain and the brand 'Rickey's World Famous Sauces.'
