Oklahoma teenager Willis Gibson has done what we all couldn't, he's become the first human player to beat Nintendo's classic video game Tetris, 34 years after its release. Per BBC...

quote:
An Oklahoma teenager is believed to have become the first human player to beat Nintendo's classic video game Tetris, 34 years after its release. Willis Gibson posted a video on his YouTube channel of the moment he reached level 157, causing the game to crash. The 13-year-old fell back into his chair - declaring: "I'm going to pass out, I can't feel my fingers." It only took him 38 minutes to beat the game.

Remarkably, until a few years ago, players believed it was only possible to play up to level 29. The popular video game - which sees players arrange falling blocks into perfect horizontal lines at increasing speeds - was originally created in 1984 by Soviet engineer Alexey Pajitnov, and gained popularity after its debut on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Nintendo's Game Boy handheld console in 1989.

Kid is mentally unstable. His reaction to when it froze tells me he has no idea how to manage his emotions.

I didn't know that game even had an end. I thought it was just to achieve the highest score

Looked like his shite just froze up

that's the point. there is no level past that, because the chances of getting there is almost impossible due to algorithms. the fact it froze is the part that makes it beaten. grats to that kid - lord knows I tried for many years growing up to get there.
