13-year-old Willis Gibson, known online as 'blue scuti', has become the first person to 'beat' the original Nintendo version of Tetris, a feat previously thought to be impossible.
Gibson achieved what gamers call a 'kill screen', a point where the game's code glitches and crashes, signifying the game has been pushed beyond its limits.
Gibson's achievement was made possible through the use of advanced gaming techniques such as 'hypertapping' and 'rolling', which allow for faster and more efficient control of the game.
The achievement was also aided by the work of an AI program called StackRabbit, which helped map out scenarios that could cause the game to crash.
Gibson's victory is considered a monumental achievement in the gaming world, with Tetris CEO Maya Rogers congratulating him for defying the preconceived limits of the game.
