They said it couldn’t be done, but to the nay-sayers let me tell you this – Tetris has finally been “beaten”.
In a world first, 13-year-old Willis “Blue Scuti” Gibson – who is a competitive Tetris player – has managed to get the decades old falling block game to reveal its “kill screen”. While not your traditional end of game, with credits or even game over message, this screen essentially sees Tetris crash. This is beating Tetris, a once thought impossible feat.
The delight shown by the young player, who was born over two decades after the game actually released, as the screen freezes is palpable. “Oh my god,” Gibson repeats. “I’m going to pass out, I can’t feel my fingers.”
