Tetris: US teenager claims to be first to beat video game

Willis Gibson posted a video on YouTube of the moment he reached level 157, causing the game to crash.

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.

In 2010 professional competitive gamer Thor Aackerlund managed to reach level 30 by using a technique called hypertapping, where a player vibrates their fingers in a way which moves the controller faster than the in-game speed.

This led to other gamers adopting hypertapping and other techniques to see how far they could go - but as of last month, only AI had been able to reach the game's true kill screen.

A kill screen happens when a player reaches a level which causes the game to crash.

What a lil’ G. Respect.

Love Tetris but last iteration I played was 2021’s Tetris Effect: Connected. It has a 0.1% Platinum rate, which speaks for itself and not for the faint of heart.

I guess we now know who the 0.1% is.

I hope he leaves some pussy for the rest of us.

I wonder if this is possible in Tetris DX.

Like a bauce. Well done kid!

Panties will be dropping as soon as he enters any room where women are present. Forget pheromones, he should sell his sweat as a spray to incels..

Kid needs to enter the Tetris World Championships. Based on what I've seen, he would win.

I ended up watching a YouTube video going over it. The kill state wasn't even known until recently and it's interesting seeing some of the wrong speed runs and stuff like this from time to time.

Somewhere in Heibei, a socialist child tetris program is shutting down.

Tetris: US teen claims game's first ever 'rebirth'

Michael Artiaga, 16, is the first known person to see the NES video game reset itself after beating it.

www.bbc.co.uk

Michael Artiaga, also known by followers as 'Dog', has been competing to break Tetris records, along with his brother Andy, for several years.

A US teenager is the first known person to get classic video game Tetris to reset to level 0 after beating it.

Michael Artiaga, 16, claimed the historic moment of so-called 'rebirth' while livestreaming himself playing Nintendo's version of the game on Twitch on Sunday.

It took him 82 minutes to successfully clear level 255 on Tetris - the game's highest. Artiaga, who streams as 'dogplayingtetris', celebrated and watched in shock as it started again from scratch.

"Am I dreaming, bro?" he asked viewers, saying he was in 'disbelief'.

The teen carried on playing and eventually finished with 29.4 million points.

He was reportedly playing an edition of the game made for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) console that prevents crashes after level 155.

Imagine what he could do if he dedicated all that time to something other than video games.

Give him some time mah man.

What console are these kids playing this on?

Surely not the old NES

 

[Prefect]

It seems almost cartoonish for a person who beat Tetris to be someone that lives in nowhere Oklahoma and plays videogames on a 40 year old console.
