‘Extraordinary accomplishment’: Teen gamer believed to be first to ‘beat’ Tetris

A 13-year-old gamer is thought to be the first person to ever beat Tetris – 40 years after it was invented. “Oh my god … I’m gonna pass out!” Willis Gibson gasped on a Dec. 21 livestream as he realized he’d reached level 157, crashing the classic game that for years many only thought went to level 29. “I can’t feel my fingers,” the astonished Oklahoma teen mumbled as he slumped back in his chair and appeared to almost hyperventilate at his unexpected accomplishment. “When I started playing this game I never expected to ever crash the game, or beat it,” wrote Gibson, who started playing the classic game when he was 11, according to Popular Science.
