It took 34 years, but "Tetris" was finally defeated.
Competitive 'Tetris' player Willis "Blue Scuti" Gibson recently played the game on NES and achieved the fabled game over "kill screen."
This feat had only been accomplished by Al before.
It took Gibson 38 minutes to witness the freeze and music halt while utilizing the groundbreaking "rolling" technique.

The "rolling technique" is a controller style that took the Tetris world by storm in 2021.

Tetris, invented in 1984 by Alexey Pajitnov, is a perfect puzzle game - easy to learn, hard to master, and highly popular.
It debuted on the NES in 1989 and became a pack-in title for the Game Boy, boosting popularity. Tetris has been released on over 65 platforms.
If you haven't seen "Tetris" on AppleTV+, I highly recommend it.
