Billy Mitchell, also known as the legendary arcade gamer, was once known to have achieved the world's first perfect game (score: 3,333,360 points) at Pacman. Donkey Kong was also registered in Twin Galaxies with two high scores, including the world's first Guinness record of over 1 million. However, game recording site Twin Galaxies concluded that Mr. Mitchell's record was 'not an actual arcade machine but an emulator'. As a sanction that violated the regulations, all records of Mr. Mitchell stored in the Twin Galaxies database were deleted. In addition, the registration to the Guinness World Record based on the Twin Galaxies record has also been replaced.
The details of Mitchell's removal of records from Twin Galaxies are detailed in the following articles:
It was discovered that a gamer who was hitting the world record of Pacman and Donkey Kong was using an emulator, and it was deleted from the Guinness world record-GIGAZINE
Mr. Mitchell directly opposed the disposition of Twin Galaxies. I claimed that I was playing the game according to the official rules, not using an emulator, and submitted 156 pages of material to Twin Galaxies as proof. At the same time, Mr. Mitchell has sent the law office's documents to Twin Galaxies and Guinness and warned that if the records were not reinstated, they would go to legal action.

In addition, Mitchell 's live broadcast of Twitch showing how to play Donkey Kong on a real machine hits a high score equivalent to the record actually deleted, proving that he has the skill to be suitable for the Guinness record.

But in order for Mr. Mitchell to regain the Guinness record of being 'the first man in the world to score more than a million points in Donkey Kong,' he needs to prove that his past records are real, not his current prowess.
Meanwhile, Twin Galaxies posted in a forum dealing with this issue, 'Our lawyer sent a formal answer to Mitchell's lawyer.' In a published response, Twin Galaxies said, 'After years of public debate, we determined that Mitchell's score did not meet the rules. Therefore, Mitchell's record will be permanently erased.' He reaffirmed his view that Mitchell's record was not fair.
Also, American monthly game magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) said, ``Multiple analyzes have shown that Mr. Mitchell's score was not output from a real arcade real machine, so it is ineligible as a record Pointed out.' We support the conclusions of Twin Galaxies.
According to EGM, the real Donkey Kong arcade machine realizes a vertically long monitor by rotating the horizontally long monitor 90 degrees counterclockwise. Therefore, the upper part of the screen regarding the two records of Donkey Kong submitted by Mr. Mitchell is on the left side, although the upper part of the game image output from the actual machine should come to the right side. On the other hand, when outputting the game screen from MAME , which is said to have been used by Mr. Mitchell, it is said that the upper part of the screen is on the left side like Mr. Mitchell's image, ``This is Mr. Mitchell's record by the emulator That's proof,” EGM points out. Also, there is a slight difference in the display method of the score numbers between the actual machine and MAME, and there is a difference in this point as well.
The following image is a video of Mr. Mitchell's game screen, which EGM pointed out that 'it was due to an emulator'. Although unclear to the untrained eye, the right side of each image is certainly distorted artificially, and if this part was the top of the monitor, the top of the game screen would be on the left.
Twin Galaxies also argues that Mitchell says he will 'sue for defamation unless he restores his score.' In his response, Twin Galaxies added: “Mitchell is a public figure, so to speak, as a legendary gamer for over 40 years. Therefore, Twin Galaxies is legally open to discuss Mitchell's achievements. And Twin Galaxies has never stated that Mr. Mitchell had committed fraud, nor is it defamation.'
In addition, ``Because the action that Mr. Mitchell flicks is a threatening suit (SLAPP) , if you actually take the suit, you will immediately conflict with the anti-SLAPP law and all the costs of the law will be borne by the plaintiff Mitchell. Warning. Mr. Mitchell's lawyer, James Gibbons, was advised to 'please advise Mr. Mitchell to make a prudent and wise decision,' suggesting that Mr. Mitchell's appeal is unreasonable. It was
