@guardian: “It’s never been done by a human before,” says Vince Clemente, the president of the Classic Tetris World Championship. “It’s basically something that everyone thought was impossible until a couple of years ago.” Willis Gibson, a 13-year-old Tetris player from Oklahoma, posted a video on his YouTube channel of the moment he reached level 157, causing the game to crash. 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. Willis dedicated his win to his late father, Adam, who died last month. #Tetris #VideoGames #GameTok

Everyone in the comments saying they beat it, no you didn’t. Maybe on the Gameboy. But the original NES kill screen is near impossible to get

For those confused, highest level ever reached was lvl 29 until 2011 when a new style of tapping allowed the player to move pieces faster. In 2020 'rolling' was utilised to move pieces even faster ->

I’m pretty sure people would have beaten the game in the 90s. They just didn’t have live streaming to prove it. Well done tho young man. 👍🏼
