13-Year-Old Gamer 'Beats' Tetris, Triggers Controversy

Willis Gibson becomes the first to 'beat' the original Nintendo version of Tetris, sparking debate on the significance of such gaming achievements.

13-year-old Willis Gibson, also known as 'blue scuti' in the gaming world, has become the first player to officially 'beat' the original Nintendo version of Tetris by triggering a 'kill screen' on Level 157, a point where the Tetris code glitches, crashing the game.
The achievement is considered a victory over the game, pushing the software past its own limits, something that was previously thought to be only possible via artificial intelligence.
Tetris CEO Maya Rogers congratulated Willis on this 'extraordinary accomplishment', calling it a 'monumental achievement' as Tetris celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.
Willis's victory has sparked controversy, with Sky News anchor Jayne Secker suggesting that the young man could be spending his time on better things, stating 'Beating Tetris is not a life goal.'
Despite the controversy, many in the gaming sphere are impressed with Willis's accomplishment, with Vince Clemente, the president of the Classic Tetris World Championship, stating 'It's never been done by a human before.'
