The falling-block video game Tetris has met its match in a 13-year-old player named Willis Gibson, who in late December became the first player to officially beat the original Nintendo version of the game.
By breaking it, of course.
Technically, Gibson — aka “blue scuti” in the gaming world — made it to what gamers call a “kill screen,” a point where the Tetris code glitches, crashing the game.
That might not sound like much of a victory to most people, but it’s a highly coveted achievement in the world of video games.
And it’s a very big deal for Tetris, which has long been described as an “unbeatable” game.
